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!
