2nd Interview: Casey Witte: (Business Major)
3rd Interview: Haley Kairab (Poli-Sci Major)
4th Interview: Marissa Rivers (Advertising Major)
5th Interview: Kristen Torres (Journalism Major)
For the second iteration of the interview process I tried to seek out majors that would relate to my idea, so business and advertising majors who may be doing work with similar companies in the future and then a poli-sci and journalism major who are going to be record keepers and proponents of the trends and regulatory practices that affect my idea.
Who?
Although prospects of new types of food production affect everyone, the individuals most seriously impacted by my idea would be businesses like grocery markets, food processing plants, and other individuals or organization that purchase large quantities of raw food product.
What?
my idea is rooted in a rising acute need for space-efficient food production and transportation services. This differs from farming services that solely supply food and agricultural services
Why?
The needs of those inside my boundary are different because we live on a planet that does not have unlimited space for agricultural use and quickly wears out soil when trying to meet the current demand for food.

I really like your idea, in fact I am taking a class right now in which we are learning about how economics play into farming and agricultural lifestyles, and their effect on each other. I think really interesting and enjoy learning about it. I like how you identified who you interviewed and explained why those were the people you chose to interview. Additionally, your chart is clear and concise. The only change i would have made is that maybe you could look at the 'outside the boundary' point of view a little more and given more explanation fo that. Other than that good job.
ReplyDeleteHello Brandon, you did a really good job with this post! I thought your topic was very interesting. It actually made me want to go back and read you solution to get more info. This is all well thought out. I especially like the way you structured your interviews. It seems that you already had an interest in the topic from the start. I can’t wait to read more. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Space is becoming limited as cities expand and populations grow, and this kind of innovation is crucial for the continuation of humanity. Hydroponics/aquaponics prove to be very successful with developing large quantities of food in a clean and efficient way. With vertical farming, you could farm crops right in the middle of a metropolis and produce enough to feed millions, all without the polluting effect of pesticide and fertilizer run-off.
ReplyDeleteHey Brandon,
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading this blog post, you did a really good job. I think that your idea was great and reading about it actually made me want to go back and read your earlier posts. You also did a really good job with the format of this post. I like how you included exactly who you interviewed and why you chose them.
Hey Brandon, this post was really good. The way you organized this was extremely helpful when reading is. Your interviews sound like they were structured very well, and the information you gave was great. It is clear that you thought out who to interview, in order to gain valuable information. It sounds like you have a great start to pursuing your business idea.
