The Farm to Table Project Report
Farm Bureau Project Report As students of Belleville New Tech Biology, we have been doing a big project, Farm to Table. The goal of the Farm to Table project was to explore the possibility of establishing a product development and teaching our community where their food comes from. The project demonstrated the potential for a direct marketing connection between local farmers, food product businesses and urban consumers. The expectation was that this link would allow consumer to be more interested in buying local food. Another important aim of this project was to have Michigan Farm Bureau, the state's largest general farm organization, work directly with the project to identify people that farms have a care for their environment and community.
Since the goal was to acknowledge our community about where their food comes from, we did a website that would prove our understanding of the project. This project, Farm to Table, took as practically a month to finish up. Even though we were doing these as altered groups, the project needed lots of research and deep understandings. Before we began our project, we were requested to read a book by Michael Pollan. The book is known as, The Secret behind What You Eat. The book discusses about the brutal truths behind industrial food production. The book also talks about how our food is being made with more and more sugar, and in ever larger servings. This book was a great resource for our project; especially when we were need of figuring out what our food is made of and where it comes from.
