My research project is about how pesticides affect the food we intake and if pesticides harm the environment. I don't really know how I decided to pick this topic, but I am glad I did. So far I have learned a lot about this subject; for example, pesticides can cause various types of cancer. By picking this question it has raised my awareness in the field of agriculture. It really concerns me because most of the food we eat contains or is grown with the use of pesticides. Traces of pesticides can be found just about everywhere from schools to farms, it can even be found in our drinking water. This is extremely bad because pesticides have been linked to nine different types of cancers and other health problems, such as infertility. Pesticides care even harmful to the environment, they kill beneficial insects and sometimes plants. Through my research I have found some alternatives for pesticides, instead of using toxic chemicals to prevent rodents and weeds we should use non-toxic methods. If we accomplish this, we can better our agriculture in many ways that will help us in the end.
I believe my only issue with the research project is getting enough information to write five pages. I have a lot of data and facts, but I am about a page away from completing the five page requirement. The only way to make that requirement might be to do more research, but I am beginning to repeat facts and other information.
