1. The consequences for disease is that it kills the plants that we need to survive, some diseases are very difficult to control which would lead to a high amount of crop loss.

2. GM foods can become genetically resistant to disease.

3. Other options for consumers would be chemicals or other cultivation practices.

1. Weeds steal access to sunlight, water, and nutrients almost every time over crops, killing them. They can also introduce disease and pests to crops.

2. GM foods can help this challenge by making crops be resistant to toxic herbicides which can be sprayed on fields of crops, killing just the weeds.

3. Although less effective than GM, farmers can use mulch to prevent weeds. An extra layer of organic matter can smother and prevent any new seeds from germinating.

1. Pests are a challenge for farmers because they decrease crop production. They cause damage to growing plants.

2. New GM technologies are becoming more resistant for pests. They're becoming less effective as pests develop more of a resistance.

3. As other options farmers till their soils, rotate their crops, and they carefully plan the dates they'll plant. Farmers use these other options when they don't want to use the GM option.

1.  Flavor affects both groups. Farmers need to make sure it tastes good do that they can make money on it. Consumers need food and they want it to be appetizing.

2.  GM foods can help this challenge by stopping fruits and vegetables from browning which in turn affects the flavor.

3. Other options for consumers would be shopping locally from the farmers around them where they can make sure their foods are not genetically modified.

1. Safety: While GM foods themselves are safe, some growing practices like use of herbicides to kill weeds are not. Opting for organic, or buying locally to you can talk to the farmer about how they grow their food can help alleviate fears
2. Affordability: Organic certification involves many steps to ensure proper handling of food through all steps of growing and distribution. This often makes the food more expensive. Local farms can be a less expensive organic option because you aren't covering transport costs in the price tag.
3Availablility...but this doesn't help people in cities (google: Food Deserts) Making sure that a variety of GM, non-GM, organic, etc foods are available for all people in all places is a HUGE challenge

1). Some consequences of this challenge for consumers are that they will not buy the food if it has started to spoil before they use it. Spoilage can effect farmers products to become dangerous to eat and also will not look appetizing for the buyers
2). GMO can help this challenge by removing the enzyme that makes ripe fruit soften.
3). Consumers and farmers who don't want GM food can buy organic food and look for NON-GMO labeling and also avoid food that has corn beets sugar,cotton ,etc.

1. The consequences of this challenge for consumers is convenient foods are less likely to be fresh. Convenient foods can also sometimes be expensive.
2. GM can help make convenient foods cheaper and help with the browning of foods.
3. The only other way to help this challenge is to buy fresh foods and take more time to prepare and cook foods.

1. The consequences of cost for the farmers and consumers depends on the season.

2.  Due to the supply and demand, crops could die out due to pests, diseases and many more. GM foods could really help out with the cost of crops because crops would be more resistant to many things so that the food supply won't go down which will increase the price of foods.

3. One option for farmers to prevent crop failure is to cover crops. Cover crops prevent soil erosion, improve soil texture, and it helps suppress weeds.
