The three primary objectives of this project are:
- Elicit and document stakeholder (producers, consumers, input
suppliers, rural communities, and others) expectations and concerns
with respect to biotechnology research on tobacco and rice.
- Develop and apply a framework to assess the positive and negative
economic and social impacts of agricultural biotechnologies on
tobacco and rice, including their distribution among different
interest groups both in the United States and abroad.
- Develop and test educational materials to extend information
on the benefits, costs, and concerns associated with biotechnologies
to students (primary, secondary, and college) and the public at
large, while at the same time creating a mechanism for continual
feedback to scientists and public activists.
