Reasearch Proposal and Outline: Organic Food

I would like to do my topic on organic food. Out of all the topics I have so far discovered about physical environment this one interests me the most. I am hoping to learn a little more about organic growing and its benefits. I believe this is the best opportunity to do just that. My thesis is: Although organic food is more costly, people should invest in organic because of the soil care, climate benefits, and water welfare.

1. I.                   First Main Idea Soil care
   1. a.      Discussion point crop treatment (healthier soil)

1. II.                Second Main Idea climate benefits
   1. a.      Discussion point captures gases and fuels

                                                              i.      Example one carbon dioxide

                                                            ii.      Example two lowers fossil fuel output

1. III.             Third Main Idea no polluted ground water
   1. a.      Discussion point pesticides

                                                              i.      Example one non organic pesticides

                                                            ii.      Example two organic pesticides

1. b.      Discussion point antibiotics into water
