NMSU launches ‘Market Set Go!’

"Market Set Go!" - Set up your booth. Prepare food samples. The customers are here!

A team from the New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service has launched a new game, “Market Set Go!,” to share food safety best practices with farmers market vendors and provide training materials in a fun way.

The media production team from NMSU’s Innovation Media Research and Extension and Learning Games Lab in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences has designed a tycoon-style game set in a farmers market, where players manage a farmers market and face various food safety challenges. The game was created in collaboration with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and University of Houston.
