SESSION 1- FOOD SECURITY 2050: Can GM crops play a role? A dynamic and vibrant session was provided for participants.This interesting workshop asked participants to imagine the future, and the decisions we need to make to secure our food supplies. The workshop provided the science, data and facts relating to genetically modified(GM) foods in an easy and interesting format. The workshop was not about the issues relating to the ethical and moral questions around GM although these issues were touched on briefly by participants. A terrific workshop which was well presented.Photos from the interactive workshop focusing on Food Security Return to 2013 Photo Album
