This is from the Britannica resource that BSC has as an online database resource. Always handy.

I am a big fan of the Open Directory and this is a great listing of sites for kids around food production and farming. It may be a great place to get started.

Hi Steve, I noticed that you tagged this and some other resources "BWGOrganic Search Tools" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" and/or "BGWSearchTools". While this may seem like a minor distinction, the purpose of asking students to use these specific tags is so that anybody in the course can easily find all the resources related to either organic foods or general search tools by simply clicking on a common tag for each subject. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Thanks

Done and done:)

This is a great resource for teachers looking to limit their students' searches to a collection of specific sites.  Try creating a quick search to test it.

UK-based organic gardening website

This website, from a UK-based not-for-profit, provides practical advice on organic gardening.

Formerly known as Clusty.com, this site is helpful when identifying subtopics.

I'm having trouble accessing this site too. How did you access this site?

Again, I got to this through my school, but I thought sirs was part of proquest and should be available to see.

It seems that ProQuest has a variety of different products so Bank Street may have the main ProQuest database, but not SIRS. I'll ask the librarian.

After viewing the MonkeySee video, one thing that stood out to me was that organic foods with multiple ingredients may contain less than 100% organic food ingredients, with the remaining 5% approved non-organic ingredients. I was curious as to what that list was and this article does a nice job of explaining.

This site is good for nutritional information-uses cereal as an example

This is to correct the URL of my previous post.

This article supports the idea that organic foods are better for us than non organic foods.
