Team:MIT MAHE/Human Practices
Introduction
Rice is a commodity that is central to many lives. As such, the feedback on our project can be given by the entire chain of people involved in rice; from the farmers to the industrialists and researchers, and the consumer as well. Thanks to this extensive feedback network, we were able to collect invaluable information that allowed us to do a lot more than just the science. We contacted a number of different stakeholders who gave us feedback that pertains to their relation to rice. Our project kept evolving as we kept in touch with our stakeholders, influencing our project design and marketing along the way. This end product is not just the effort of the team, but is also formed by the views of the stakeholders.
