Last week we discussed farming and genetically modified foods (GMO’s). We had an interesting discussion about sustainable farming.

Can we continue the current course we that we are on, in regard to food production, or do we need a paradigm shift? GMO's are just another layer in this dilemma. GMO's have demonstrated to be beneficial in increasing food production, including promises of crops that are more adaptable and more productive. On the other hand, there are questions regarding to how safe they are to the health of humans and the environment. How will we address these concerns for the future?

Attach is the response I made last week.
