Community Colleges Food Standards Interdisciplinary Approach Reference Services Biotechnology Nutrition Sustainable Development Environmental Education Agricultural Engineering Agricultural Production Food Library Materials Library Services Information Sources From popular movies to New York Times bestsellers, organic food is widely acknowledged to be of growing importance. Many community college students are asking: How is organic food different from everything else in the grocery store? What impact does farming have on the environment? How safe is our food? A survey of reference works introduces organic food as a method of producing food and a social movement that values sustainable food, higher levels of nutrition and food safety, and environmentally responsible agriculture. The organic food movement incorporates a variety of subjects and exemplifies the need for interdisciplinary reference work.
