Question

A farming consortium is experiencing serious problems establishing stable and profitable rice production in their Northern California acreage. It is unclear whether the problem is the strain of rice being used, or a range of local environmental issues, including local pests and local soil conditions. Which of the following plant professionals is the company most likely to choose to address this problem?

Answer 1

A way that plant professionails can address and fix the problem is by introducing the idea of GMOs and genetically modifying the rice. This would make rice be able to grow in harsh conditions and become sustainable to pests. Also, genetically modified rice is cheaper and will bring in more money.
