The Future of Agriculture For our class discussion this week, imagine that you work for a non-profit organization that offers grants to innovative projects that will help promote sustainable agriculture around the world. You have a limited amount of money to donate to worthy projects. Will you direct your organization’s funds: 1) toward projects that focus on organic farming methods; 2) toward ones that support technological advances in conventional agriculture; or 3) toward ones that support the use of biotechnology (genetic modification) in agriculture?To get you started on making a sound decision, here are some resources. First, please read over these USDA factsheets on high-tech conventional farming (Links to an external site.), biotech farming (Links to an external site.), and organic farming (Links to an external site.). Here are three further resources, making a case for each of these:High-tech conventional agriculture (Links to an external site.)Biotech agriculture (Links to an external site.)Organic agriculture (Links to an external site.):Once you have reached a decision, share it with the class. Explain in detail why you favor that agricultural strategy over the others.
