Mark your calendar, folks!
GMCC 11 – Co-existence 2.0 Conference
“Achieving Coexistence of Biotech, Conventional & Organic Foods in the Marketplace”
October 26 – 28, 2011
Vancouver, B.C
Canada
Topics that will be discussed in the plenary and parallel sessions of GMCC-11 include
- Experiences and lessons from coexistence policy making around the world
- Regulation, liability, and the market—what works best?
- Economic and trade issues of low level presence and relevant policies
- Economics and policies of adventitious presence thresholds and tolerances
- Coexistence: best practices in various supply chains
I hope you can give a summary of what happened. Certainly Dr Ronald thinks we can have coexistence. I’m not as confident. Had a Twitter conversation with a guy who doesn’t want to eat GM food. I recommended wild game and water. He didn’t get it, that our crops are the result of years of GM. If this conference can agree on just definitions, that would be progress.
I will be attending and will blog a summary and twitter throughout the event… stay tuned!
Great! I am glad to hear that you will be going, I would have liked to have gone, but I am actually hosting a 1-day conference on the 28th and that takes precedence.
