Student Privacy FAQ      Terms of Use

Journey 2050 is a Nutrien owned FREE agriculture education program that challenges participants to answer the question, “How will we sustainably feed nearly 10 billion people by the year 2050?” Using an inquiry-based approach, this gamified, virtual program encourages students to make decisions and adjust them as they see their impact on society, the environment, and the economy at a local and global scale. Students will hear from farmers across the globe, learning about their experiences to understand how agriculture differs across the globe. As students interact with each family, they learn the role of best management practices in feeding the world, reducing environmental impacts, and improving social performance through greater access to education, medical care, and community infrastructure.

 

For teachers, yes, to access curriculum and book Guest Speaker and Field Trip opportunities. Students do not create an account.

We do not collect any personal identifiable information (PII) on students.

Three reports are generated after levels 4, 5b and 6 (after each section of the game) to record student progress and responses about the program. Reports are only generated if the teacher code is used by students prior to playing the game and the device has an internet connection. Teachers can view/download these reports from their teacher account.

See the appendix below for report examples. All reports are the same and provide the same data viewable in this document.

Reports are used by teachers to ensure students are playing the game when using the program remotely, for classroom discussions, and/or as a grading tool. These reports are not used by Journey 2050 or program affiliates for any commercial marketing purposes or shared with third parties.

We track anonymous information such as device make, model, and manufacturer in the case of mobile applications and browser version in the case of web access. We do not track information about the user, their identity, or other personal information.

Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry standards and best practices. The teacher reports are encrypted and stored in a cloud provided storage solution providing server-side encryption. All traffic will be encrypted with the current standards for SSL / TLS for safe transfer. Any data stored within a database or similar technology will be encrypted.
