Webbing: the quest for quality information

If I'm going to do my personal inquiry project on the local versus organic debate, it's time to start sifting though information.

First I have to figure out what I'm looking for. It seems to me that what I'm going to need are these main items:

1. What are the benefits of organic food?
2. What are the benefits of local food?
3. While it would be ideal to be able to purchase both, on balance which is most important ecologically speaking?

Results of initial web search:

I found these articles which looked like they might provide some good information.

16 Organic Apples and a Gallon of Gas by Christopher Wanjek
Chews Wisely by Samuel Fromartz

Health Care Benefits Now Offered At The Supermarket? by Shane Heaton
Local or Organic? I'll Take Both by Wendy Pennybacker

I've decided to take some of the key points from these articles and make a diagram using Inspire to help me determine whether I have any holes in my content. More on that in my next post!
