- Capstone Project Overview: Where do you stand?
- At this stage, you should have started to investigate your assigned region and have added information, maps and data to your worksheets and powerpoint file for Stages 1 and 2.
Upon completion of stage 2, you should have at this point:

- 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
- 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
- Compiled an initial list of questions you have about your region related to key course topics and initiated significant efforts to answer.
