This program entitled, "The Straight Story on Biotech in Agriculture: The Media and its Impact on Consumers" will feature a panel of experts from multiple disciplines, including farmers, media, industry and academia, who will answer some of the toughest questions surrounding GMOs.

During the event, the panelists will explore the many questions consumers have about biotechnology in agriculture - known more commonly to consumers as GMO. In particular, they will discuss what additional information consumers need access to as interest in this topic continues to grow.
