You may remember that certain candy companies recently made the decision to source non-GMO (and therefore non-beet) #sugar, based on “consumer” demand. Now, faced with a potential cocoa bean scarcity, genetic engineers are being asked to save the day. I’m confident they won’t let us down because a world without chocolate is simply unthinkable! Kudos to those candy companies who choose #FactsNotFear and let’s hope future labels say “Gratefully produced with genetic engineering”. #agbiotech #GMO

Don’t we all want the best for our family?

I’m excited to share the link to this incredible film that premiered last night in Los Angeles! It’s a fascinating look into how we sort through information and how to come to fact-based conclusions. One topic happens to be about #GMO #sugarbeets! 

If you are a Junior High or High School teacher, there are FREE downloadable materials on their website (see credits). And please share this link so that your friends can enjoy this thought-provoking film (and its great footage of some Brawley locales)!

This wheat field is about two weeks from harvest. It will then begin its journey to your table as it becomes…

A great article by Henry Miller that brings to light the differences between growing methods, which is more sustainable and how at least one major university missed the mark. #sustainability #geneticengineering #agriculture #organic #stanford
