Our research is about local food. We still need to improve it, so every comment is helpfull to make it better.
by Arne Meynaerts and Lander Michiels
Introduction
They always tell us that local food is better for the environment and the economy, but why is that? Does it really slow down climate change? Why is it usual more expensive then other products? Most important what is exactly local food?
Local food is a rather wide group of products. To make it easier to explain we chose to do research around an apple tree. More...

Definition
Green walls are vertical structures that have different types of plants or other greenery attached to them. The greenery is often planted in a growth medium consisting of soil, stone, or water. More...
This is our research about how to counteract food waste or how to use food that would normally be thrown away. This is our initial research, so it would be nice if you could leave a comment to tell us what you think about it and what we could improve. You can also sent other solutions you've found so we can add them to our research. We hope we can work together and help each other out! More...
Food waste at home and what to do about it!
What can we do at home to prevent food waste as good as possible?
- Make a week menu in which you measure how much food you actually need and keep one day free for if there’s any left at the end of the week. So, you can eat the leftovers then. (Later we will discuss different recipes with leftovers)
- Keep animals that eat the leftovers we can’t really eat
- Chickens eat nearly everything
- Some parts of vegetables you can also feed your rabbit, Guinee pig, hamster, …
- Keep a compost waste bin More...
For my spaghetti:
Cropland was used : wheat, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, meat, cheese,...
No fisheries were used.
Forest was used : the spaghetti was in a cardboard box.
Built-up land was used : the vegetables came from the market, but all the other ingredients came from the store.
Carbon foorprint : there was a production of plastic (e.g. the vegetables were in plastic bags) and the ingredients where transported.
I think my meal has a medium Ecological footprint because a lot of ingredients came from the market and we made the spaghetti ourselves so it was fresh.
