 CASE STUDY

RESEARCH TOPIC: QUESTIONS:

Knowing how to use genetically
modified crops in sustainable
farming
Q1. How do farmers, consumers, and
other stakeholders view the advantages
and drawbacks of using genetically
modified crops in sustainable agriculture?
Q2. How are genetically modified crops
affected by the governance and
regulatory frameworks for sustainable
agriculture?
 ETHNOLOGY

RESEARCH TOPIC: QUESTIONS:

Q1. How do cultural values and

GMO perspectives in society beliefs affect how individuals view
and culture genetically modified organisms?
 PHENOMENOLOGY
RESEARCH TOPIC:
Investigating the real-life
experiences of farmers who
grow GMO crops
QUESTIONS:
Q1. What personal experiences do
farmers have growing crops that
have undergone genetic
modification?
Q2. How do farmers view the
advantages and dangers of
genetically modified crops?
 HISTORICAL RESEARCH

RESEARCH TOPIC: QUESTIONS:

The Controversies Surrounding Q1. What can we learn about the

Genetically Engineered past debates over genetically
Organisms: "Implications for modified organisms, and how can
Future Developments" this help guide current and
upcoming research in the area?
 GROUNDED THEORY

RESEARCH TOPIC: QUESTIONS:

Impacts of GMOs on Biodiversity
Q1. How have the traditional farming methods
and the biodiversity in the communities under
study been impacted by the use of
genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?
Q2. What are the potential and risks for the
responsible use of GMOs in the communities
under study to manage biodiversity, and how
can these be overcome?
 NARRATIVE INQUIRY
RESEARCH TOPIC:
An examination of experiences
and viewpoints in The
Individual Experiences of
Farmers on the Introduction of
Genetically Modified Crops
QUESTIONS:
Q1. What are the individualized
accounts of farmers who have
embraced genetically modified crops,
and how do their viewpoints and life
stories affect how we see the
advantages and difficulties of
genetically modified organisms?
 ACTION RESEARCH

RESEARCH TOPIC: QUESTIONS:

Evaluation of a Plan of Action to Q1. Is it possible to increase public

Improve Public Knowledge and acceptance and understanding of
Acceptance of Genetically Modified genetically modified organisms
Organisms through an action plan?
