           Prior to going on the class trip to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Rooftop Garden we watched a video called film called “Food Machine Episode 1 America Neverland”. The host Yul Kwon goes to all the most known places where we get our food resources from. In the film the host went to some of the most popular and largest farms in the United States. He reviewed and questioned the actions that the farmers make to make sure the food sources are available for us and in a timely manner. In the film the farmers shows what they have to do often to maintain the produce and what they have to do maintain it but adding GMO’s to some because the insect population increasing and messing up the food. But also, it messes up the population for plants that want to be considered organic. insects like bees and other flying insects can die off and messes up recourses that we get from insects like honey. And comparing the film to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and how they plant their food theirs a huge different. the roof top garden recourses aren’t really used for a huge amounts of people so timing is not so importing. It’s important to the people rely on the recourses like restaurants and households. at the Brooklyn Navy Yard they don’t use pesticides to help food consistency. just like in the winter the food at the navy yard wouldn’t be in good use to do to the fact of temperature change but in the larger farms on the other side of the united states its mostly warm only problem they might have is water supply. So it might be bad to have pesticides but food quicker or have organic garden that grow on a regular schedule.
