For the project we decided to research on organic agriculture. After spending the sessions, discussing with Eliane, we have become very aware of the numerous negative impacts we are making in our life. Through our discussions I have become more passionate on ways humans can have a better relationship with the land. Many civilizations before us knew how to live with the land without destroying it or without making as much of a footprint. I hope this publication will serve as a platform for communication across food and agricultural studies students here at while continuing to teach the community about food justice and food sustainability. We also encourage students who are studying food and agriculture.
My project is coming to an end. Now it was time to use all the information gained during the development of the project. Working with the Wordpress platform took a while at the beginning until I found my way around. However, it helped because it is structured in the same way as "The Horse". This means that after a short period of getting used to the system, you were able to find your way around. It is simple and clearly structured.
We had some dificulties with the presentation in wordpress but we managed to make it look clean. We had to rewrite a part of our interview because the formation was wrong. But in the end everything looked good and we published our work on https://dontwastemy.energy/2021/01/20/city-parks-and-their-impact-on-the-environment/
Today we continued with editing our post on dontwastemy.energy. We decided on our title picture and made some minor adjustments, so that our post is ready for publishing soon.

We both think that green roofs are an important topic nowadays because there are many benefits.
When we look back on our project, we think we did a good job. At the beginning we didn't know much about this topic, but now we are definitely well informed. As mentioned before, we got instructive information through the interviews. However, in the beginning we had some difficulties to divide the work in time, but we could manage it well. Next time we think it would be better if we organize everything better at the beginning.
On the whole, we would not be here where we are at the moment without our cooperation. And the most important thing is that we enjoyed doing this project. :)

At the beginning, we quickly decided which topic we would deal with. On the Internet we saw that greening on the roofs is a current topic.
Unfortunately, we did not find a collaboration partner, so we were not able to work with teams from other countries.
We came up with the idea to interview companies that deal with green roofs. We set up questions in German and sent them to four different companies. One of the companies is located in Germany. Fortunately, we received a prompt response from three different companies. First we had to translate the German version into English. With the knowledge of these companies we were able to put together a text that gave a lot of informative information about green roofs. Overall, we had to research almost nothing on the Internet, because these interviews were already very extensive.

In the beginning we had alot of ideas for the topic of our project but now we are happy with the chosen topic. It was a bit difficult to find some promising sources at first. But after a few researches, we found a detailed document of the Stadt Zürich which describes our topic really good. So we asked them if we could use it and made also an inquiry for an interview.
Another difficulty was to write the text in an easy and readable way and language. We needed to explain a few foreign words to make the text understandable.
Even without a collaboration, we think that our project has enough information.
In general it was a lot of fun to work on that project and to search some information for an important topic. We think we've learned alot with this type of work and we're satisfied with the final results.
We're looking forward to the publication.

We asked someone from Kerala to do a collaboration with us. Unfortunately the interest was only on one side and the corona virus affected our chances on a collaboration, so we can't include another country in our project.
The Grün Stadt Zürich rejected us aswell at first. But after a few e-mails and some convincing, they agreed on an interview.
But overall our experiences are really good and we have many informations and sources for our topic. So we are confidently looking forward on doing our project.
We have completed an interview with a farmer in Kerala. After a good study of the topic made us feel that we should promote Organic Farming.
Kerala depends on the neighbouring states for most of the resources including food items. The changing pattern of resource consumption in Kerala during the past 50 years has promoted the state as one among the top most consumer states of the nation.
We shall do our best to mould our men to lead a healthy life.
