Assignment task:
Select from rainbow trout or Chilean sea bass, or Caesar salad (which includes anchovy, Parmesan cheese, oil, lettuce, and egg).
Include the following to explain the science behind the ingredients for the selected entrée:
Explain the relevant scientific information about the ingredient's journey from source to plate. Consider where the ingredient is harvested or caught, the way it is transported to the restaurant it is served in, and how long that journey takes.
Identify the ingredient's environmental impacts from agriculture and farming strategies, toxins introduced into the environment, impacts of transportation, and the ingredient processing. Consider how the aquaculture or commercial fishing methods impact the environment, such as the impact of fish farms on wild populations, a species vulnerability to fishing pressure, and how by catch may be impacting the environment.
Discuss how readily available the ingredient is for different populations around the world. Consider how easy it is to purchase the ingredient, the demand globally (its popularity), and how seafood seasons affect its availability.
