主讲内容：
To engage the audience in all “angles” of genetically modified (GM) foods, beginning with a discussion of the film-Food Evolution, new GM approaches, including gene editing, with some examples where this is being practiced. The discussion will provide insights into both eastern (China) and western (USA, European) consumers, and finally to the opportunities for evidence-based education and communication. The presentation is designed to encourage dialogue about the role of GM in ensuring food for everyone on the planet.
To review the history to present-day of GM Food, its safety and its potential impact on food security and to examine the underlying reasons for consumer acceptance and/or resistance to GM Food. To engage the students to share their preferences on this topic.
