In this scientific research paper, you will focus on a specific issue in the food industry that inhibits a sustainable system.
Please see attached “Draft_1” for the introductary paragraph. I just need to have the rest of the essay written. I already used 2 sources, so you would need to find 4-5 more sources from academic research journals to finish the essay.
Here are the main points to be covered in the essay:
- Deforestation – the increase of production of sun-grown coffee plants instead of shade-grown coffee
- Water Pollution – eutrophication due to waste-dumping and fertilizer run-off into water sources
- Soil Erosion – the chemical buildups in the soil
Question to be answered:
What are the environmental and ecological impacts of coffee production and its sustainable alternatives?
