AgBioFEWS Cohort 3 Fellows bring together a
panel of speakers to discuss how the emerging field of GE might influence
international markets and impact society.AbstractGiven the tight interconnectedness of global food systems,
genetically engineering (GE) staple crops might immediately influence our
lives. AgBioFEWS cohort 3 fellows from the Genetic and Engineering Society
Center at NC State have brought together a panel of speakers to discuss how the
emerging field of GE might influence international markets and impact society.
Speakers will discuss incentives and considerations regarding the adoption of
GE technology from private, public, and consumer perspectives. Further, the
panel hopes to reflect on how potential market arrangements might impact the
welfare of different groups across regions and income levels, since many of the
GE industry leaders come from a minority of wealthy nations. The three panel
members are experts in the philosophy of agriculture and ethics, international
relations, and biotechnology. They are well positioned to help us understand
the effects of this paradigm changing technology. GES
