Nourish Action Project

Evidence:

We chose to make a website because it informs people about how healthy vegetables are and how you should be eating them each and every day. Some vegetables and fruits are bad so you should be careful where you pick your fruits and vegetables to eat.

When choosing foods the best options are locally grown and organic foods.

This is because organic foods are healthier options than processed food that needs to be shipped long distances. Food that is processed will lead to too high of sugar, fat, and salt intakes. Since all these things are added to them they will have more calories too. The longer the food is transported the more nutrients they lose.

Also local foods are better for the environment also. Since foods need to be transported long distances this will contribute to air and water pollution as trucks release fossil fuels during the long distance shipping. Also during processing factories will release fossil fuels.

Local and organic foods will help those in your community and can make the world a better place. Start looking for healthier options and growing your own healthy foods.

Major Concepts:

Growing: Farmers preparing plants, and tending crops on small farms and growing different vegetables and crops.

Harvesting: Farmers often gather their ripened crops by hand or with workers from their farms.

Packing: Farmers or workers put foods in reusable boxes or bags for transport.

Transporting: Workers move the food by truck or van to a farmers market, or local store.

Retailing: Farmers, company owners or local store owners sell food to customers.

Eating: People buy, prepare, and eat the food.

Disposing: Communities collect kitchen scraps for composting to add to farm soil.

Reflection:

Some things that we did well was that we all worked together to do this website and each person added their own information into the website to make it better. Two things that we could have done better would be to add more information to each slide that we made and also to add more pictures and images to people can visualize what they are reading.

This project was very fun to do because while you are doing it, you are learning about different fruits and vegetables and which ones are good for you and which ones are not really good. You also learn about how to pick which vegetable is ripe or not. This is very informing and if you read the website, it gives you a lot of different information and facts about each vegetable that we chose. This project was very educational and will definetly recomend it for people who want to stay healthy.
