I think right off the bat I was most shocked at the fact that many of the arguments against agricultural practices, was that many of them were referenced via Social Media sources ]]> 2017-11-13 22:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206511489 Consistencies among panelists cllyon https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206512999 The demographic among panalists included mainly college students, therefore most of them valued price more than brand or quality of items. Our panel was a little skewed, as most college students would choose something affordable rather than high quality ]]> 2017-11-13 22:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206512999 What was the most eye opening thing that was brought up in the panel to you specifically? cllyon https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206514190 The most eye-opening thing brought up in my opinion was the fact that GMO's were carried with such a bad reputation, but there was no real reasons why. The whole panel seemed to be in agreement that GMO's carried a negative stigma with them, but they had no real idea why that was the case.]]> 2017-11-13 22:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206514190 What could the ISU Ag Dept. do to help the ISU consumers be more educated about those misconceptions that they have based on the feedback the panel gave us? cllyon https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206515131
I think community involvement is key. So possibly incorporating posters and flyers around the area/ campus with bold "DID YOU KNOW" or "YOU THOUGHT WRONG" headlines followed by agricultural misconceptions and the actual truth behind them could prove to be effective. If they disagree, they can take it up with the Ag department. ]]> 2017-11-13 22:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206515131 Check out the ISU Ag department home page for information on hot topic issues! cllyon https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206516231 https://agriculture.illinoisstate.edu]]> 2017-11-13 22:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cllyon/w2rf882fve2v/wish/206516231
