GMOs: Deciphering Fact From Fiction
Paula and Donna Jeschke, Illinois farmers with BS in Agricultural Science
Description: Ask most consumers their options about GMOs and they’ll likely say they’re against them. In fact, in a recent CONSUMER REPORTS poll 92 percent want GM foods labeled. Why have GMOs gotten such a bad rap and why do we trust science-based research in other areas of our lives, but not when it comes to food? Farmers Paul and Donna Jeschke will discuss the science behind GMOs and how using them on their farm ultimately benefits consumers. |
