For my research project I'm essentially looking into what the 'average' school fruit and vegetable garden is in the UK, and whether those school fruit and vegetable gardens are linked to what children like to eat, what they do actually eat, and how they feel. I chose this area of research because from a public health standpoint, if we can learn how to encourage children to eat more fruit and vegetables, they will be more likely to eat fruits and vegetables later on in life, which can help reduce adverse health outcomes. I enjoy this research because I've found that people use gardening for a wide variety of reasons. This includes dietary and mental wellbeing, but also a large amount use it for ecological reasons.
