The Body Farm

The Body Farm is a research facility, primarily associated with the University of Tennessee, where scientists study human decomposition in various environments. It involves placing donated human bodies outdoors in different settings to observe how they decay over time. This research helps forensic experts understand the process of decomposition and improve crime scene investigations. By examining factors like temperature, humidity, and insect activity, researchers can provide valuable insights into time of death and other vital information for solving crimes, ultimately advancing the fields of forensic science and criminal justice.
