Organic Farming

" A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.”

- Franklin D. Roosevelt 

In my initial post ,  i had introduced my idea which includes looking into the agricultural methods used by the farmers in my country currently. By this we will have an idea on whether the farming methods used are harmful or not and while researching for this I had found many articles on the net :-

These are just some of the many articles present out there which More...

Step 1 - Imagination

We will talk about the impact on climate by food. We haven't done a research yet, so these are our thoughts about this topic:

Meat and fish in general has a bad impact on climate, because the production needs a lot of energy and has a high co2 emission. At the moment we can't imagine which meat variety is better and which one is worse. But we think there is a lot of food which is better for our climate than meat, for example vegetables in general, grain products or nuts.

Now we're excited to learn more about this topic.

Best regards,

Collaboration chocolate project

Step 1, imagination

Hello together

We would like to find out, how much chocolate is produced in one year, in Switzerland (Switzerland has the highest consumption per person). In Addition, we would like to calculate, how much cocoa beans are needed for one chocolate bar and how much beans are needed for the whole consumption in Switzerland in one year. Shana and me would focus on the production of chocolate here in Switzerland and visite a chocolate factory and Elizabeth could focus on the cocoa bean and it's growth in india.

Because of the collaboration with Elizabeth from India, we have the privilege, to compare Switzerland with India in relation to the chocolate production.

Furthermore we want to find out, how the climate change has an influence on the growth of cocoa in Kerala.

Best regards,

Shana & Rahel
