In our project we intend to investigate if food grown on organic forms is healthier by assessing the nutritional quality and content of such food in comparison to conventionally farmed foods and other food products that are processed. In assessing the nutritional value of organically produced food and conventionally grown crops, we will provide results from studies around the globe to come to a conclusion on whether organic food is healthier. Also, in our comparison, we will relate the global studies to how it impacts the Bucknell campus and the surrounding community
