Purpose

This blog will detail a ten week engineering design project assessing the advantages and disadvantages financially, environmentally, and qualitatively of the production of GMO products versus non-GMO products. The ultimate goal of the project is to draft a written policy memo addressed to a Pennsylvania farm as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture outlining a plan of action to improve and optimize GMO and non-GMO production.

Week 3

In week three of our project, the following was discussed:

  • The sources that we individually found were listed under the "Findings" tab
  • We decided to focus our research on a local agricultural model
  • We have collected dated life cycle assessment data that we plan to update
  • Plan to attend a local farmer's market and reach out to local farmers to discuss their views on biotechnology and what their farming practices are
  • Started to develop an overview life cycle assessment of GMOs versus non-GMOs
