Why I selected this topic
I chose this topic because I believe it is a very important thing for people to know the benefits of organic farming. Not many people are aware of the chemicals they put into their bodies because they don't wash a fruit or vegetable that they believe is supposed to be healthy for them. My mother is a health coach and knows a lot about food and only buys organic produce because the pesticides put on standard produce can cause migraines, food poisoning, etc.. Not only do pesticides hurt people but they can severely damage the environment. Biodiversity in the land of standard growing crops is on a much lower percentage than the biodiversity in the land of organic growing crops. It is important to me that everyone is healthy and that people and the environment can grow towards better things.
the process
As soon as I got the project, I was very conflicted with what I should write. I looked around on the internet for things that have been affecting the environment because I knew generally that is what I wanted to write about. When I saw the topic of organic farming I was immediately interested because my family only buys organic produce. I never fully understood the difference between standard and organic produce but as I was doing research for this project it only got more and more interesting. It is fascinating to me how the smallest of things can affect something on an enormous scale.
