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 4

In week 4 of our project, we discussed:

  • We have collected a lot of data, however, we had not established a clear position
  • Started to develop a pros and cons list for GMOs and non-GMOs
  • All sources we consult seem to be extremely biased for wither one side or the other
  • Brainstormed ways to quantify our research using data on the USDA website
  • Plan to continue to reach out to local farmers
