Daily update #2

Here's our second daily updates! We will be taking turns to post the daily updates just so you know! ~ E

Here's a Challenge!

Day #2- Try to start planting your own vegetable garden! This is easy to do with family and friends. Try start with some salad leaves, these are simple and can be appealing in many different meals. This can help the agriculture situation and using petrol (Which is a finite resource.) to go to shops.

Daily Update #1

From now on, every day we will be posting a fact or challenge every day in which you can use to take action! These will be called "Daily Updates" so look out for them! If you need more information check out our last post! ~J 


Did you know...

About 2.3 million people in the United States of America live in food desserts (Places or cities that don't sell healthy meals due to economic reasons.) Most of these people don't own a car either so travelling to another town to shop isn't really an option.

Daily Updates!

We will be starting to do something new! From tomorrow onwards, we will be doing something called daily updates! These will be things that you can do to help with the environment and agriculture. You can learn more new things and facts about agriculture. We will have a page where you can access all of the daily updates that we have done so far. 
Hopefully, you will enjoy this new thing we are doing and follow our Blog, twitter and Instagram for notifications on the daily updates! ~E

Social Medias!

We have gotten both a Twitter and an Instagram for us to update more on the issue at hand and what we have been doing about it. This can help us let you know more on what you can do and updates on agriculture. This Blog is the main part of this issue and it is where you will learn more about what we have been doing. Below is the links to both of the social medias and you can see on the side of the blog the links too. Hopefully, you can help us by sharing this blog and our social medias around. Thank you! ~E

Twitter - Quick update on what we have been up to relating to agriculture. 

Instagram - Pictures of what we have been doing and updates. 

Reasons on our topic decisions.

We, as a group chose to do our exhibition on agriculture after a week of planning and researching. It had to be a global issue that would relate to all people and involve our Sharing the Planet theme. ~J

We found interest in agriculture and how it works and how machinery is used with finite resources. We, as a group wanted to learn more about this topic and take an action based on it. We made the Central Idea this way because we wanted to learn more on how humans have responsibility over farming on the world.
