Advances in the genetic modification of food create opportunities to improve the food supply, address malnutrition and hunger, and reduce the use of pesticides. How will these advances affect the diversity of our food supply? What is the potential for genetically modified foods to address nutritional deficiencies in populations facing extreme poverty?
Come join a lively conversation with a panel of representatives from the scientific, philosophical, and culinary communities to discuss whether we should modify our food and who should eat it.
