GMO Yo or No

I was sitting in a coffee shop just yesterday, when I saw a sticker on a laptop that some woman was using and the sticker said "no to GMO". There is no question that the locavore, organic, get to know your farmer dialogue is growing not just in Idaho, but nationwide. Well the Ag industry is addressing the growing concern. GMO Answers is an initiative created by the biotechnology industry to develop an open, transparent dialogue about biotechnology and how food is grown. GMO Answers spokesperson Cathleen Enright - vice president of food and agriculture at the Biotechnology Industry Organization - says the biotechnology industry is working to share positive stories about agricultural biotechnology beyond agriculture circles. The GMO Answers initiative focuses on open, transparent communication with consumers - which Cathleen Enright - executive vice president of food and agriculture at the Biotechnology Industry Organization - says is very important. "We haven't done a good job communicating about what we do. For example, things as simple as how GMO's are developed and tested, why farmers choose them or not, and what the safety data says. As a result, we are forfeiting public opinion about GMO's."
