  1. Confirmed which region you will study for your capstone project and identified the members of your group.
  2. Initiated research and data compilation in the Stages 1 and 2 sections of the Future Food Scenarios table.
    • a. Stage 1: Regional food setting, history of regional food systems, soil types
    • b. Stage 2: Water resources, c, ops and climate
  3. Created a powerpoint file to hold the data that you are collecting about the food system of your assigned region. The information you may have:
    • a. Labeled map of your region
    • b. Soil map of your region
    • c. Precipitation and temperature map of your region
    • d. Major crops and crop families grown in your region
  4. Compiled an initial list of questions you have about your region related to key course topics and initiated significant efforts to answer.
