The Tellus website makes learning about all these activities fun. It shows how crops are grown, describes landscapes, gives the history of different farming methods, describes jobs in farming, and even includes a section on art and literature in relation to rural life. The site, which is in all 11 languages of the European Union, also contains information on each European country, its geography and its agriculture.

Adults, as well as children, may be surprised to learn that Space also is playing an increasingly important role in agriculture. The site contains a comic strip Mission to Tellus that describes how four children and a robot dog journey to the ‘Tellus planet’ to set up a farm - complete with plants and animals - to enable astronauts to live in an inhospitable environment. The strip also includes an informative description of space missions and life in space.
