Abstract

We present the decision case titled “One Size Does Not Fit All” developed for use in a capstone experience in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The decision case requires an oral and written presentation of a solution to a problem posed in the case. Students work in small groups comprised of students with many majors within the college. The case study is based on the recent NRC report titled “Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children,” and the perceptions of the public concerning pesticides, baby food, and children. We outline how this case study was developed, the support material supplied to the students, and the experiences and observations that we have made as a result of using this case study. In addition, we outline how this case study could be modified to address other questions related to pesticides and food safety in a classroom setting.
