Digging in with UFA - GMO’s
In the realm of consumer produce and agricultural products, many discussions have been brought to the table about altering the chemical nature of foods. But what exactly is a GMO, and why is there so much concern about its consumption? This week, we delve into genetically modified organisms in agriculture. Join us for insightful discussions with Stuart Smythe, Agri-Food and Innovation Sustainability Enhancement Chair and Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Saskatchewan, and Sylvain Charlebois, Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. Together, we'll dive deep into this highly debated topic, uncovering truths and dispelling myths. Guided by our host Don Shafer, in partnership with UFA Co-operative, we're ready to dig in. Are you?
