the project will begin with an overview of sustainability

This picture is a great way to start off our presentation. I plan on giving an overview of sustainability explaining what exactly sustainability is and naming different areas of our lives that sustainability touches that will be developed later in the presentation.

This picture poses a farmers market adjacent to a large commercial supermarket like Wegmans. I will use this slide to discuss the differences between the two. I will talk about the reasons for pesticide and why each side thinks their products are better in addition to other issue of why one might be more expensive than the other. From this I can transition into where the products at each market come from.

First I will speak about commercial farms that send produce to chains like Wegmans. I will look at the way products are treated and how they stay fresh while being shipped across the country. I will explain the size and scale of these farms and the lack of connection anyone has with the products.

When looking at local farms I will discuss the connection between the farmer, product, and consumer at local farms. Here we see students at Washington State University working at a communal farm. By working and selling products locally you can establish a connection with the farmer that strengthens community and helps support local economy and agriculture.
