How do socio-economic communities influence the quality of food products available?
Here is our plan
Community Research:
-
Compare organic products found in grocery stores found in the neighborhood of the students compared to the schools neighborhood (Chelsea).
-
Categorize grocery store based on size.
-
Students can identify how many grocery stores (categorized) within 5 block radius of their home
-
Collect data, # of organic products in certain size grocery store
Scientific Research:
-
Test presence of pesticides in organic vs non-organic products.
-
Preservative content in foods using fluorescent microscopy.
-
Determine if products are GMO
