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...
On Wednesday 13th November 2019 we interviewed a local farmer, named Martin Keller. He is a orchard grower (= Obstbauer) but also owns and raises cute animals. He took us around and showed us the farm. There were apple and pear trees, apricot trees, plum trees, cherry trees, strawberry and some raspberry bushes. We realized how less we know about apples. The harvest has just finished and will start again in July.More...
Hello!
For our project the lifecycle of a local product, we will use the information of our interviews as well as information of the internet. I found a very good website. On the website, we can find a lot information about the plant "apple" as well as about the production and the storage etc.
Here you can find the website: Website Topic apple
If you are intersted take a look on it or better trace the developments of our Project!

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...

Hello everybody
We want to do a project about the lifecycle of a local product. We decided to to the lifcycle of an apple.
If we think about a local product, we think about its production, its care and finally its way to the grocery store.
For us a local product is planted and then it needs a lot of care. It has to be protect of many damages like hail or frost and damages through animals. Further we think that it is very important how the apple is harvested, because we think, that the harvest is decisive for the criterias to sell the apple in the grocery store.
With our project, we would like to show the different steps from how an apple tree got planted to how and when the apples will be picked from the tree. We want to find out how big or small the ecological footprint of this production and its impact on the climate is. In conclusion: What is needed that such a popular product ends up in the grocery store?
This week, we will do an interview with a local farmer to answer our questions. We are looking forward to our project!

Next Wednesday, 13 November 2019, we are going to do a interview with a local farmer. We hope to get a closer view of the lifecycle of apples and gain more information about how those fascinating trees are grown. We prepared some questions for the interview below to get a detailed description from the farmer, let's see if we gonna grow our own tree soon. ;) More...
Concept - The life cycle of a local product
Names of research team: Stefanie Kunz, Simone Etter, Tamara Keller
Project idea / topic: The life cycle of a local product
Our Questions, we want to answer with our project:
- Which steps are necessary to produce an apple?
- How and when will the apples be picked from the tree?
- How big or small is the ecological footprint of this production and its impact on the climate?
- How do our results look like, compared with another country?
In general, we want to analyse what is needed to provide this product in the grocery store.
