Gregory Jaffe, director of biotechnology at the Center for Science in
\nthe Public Interest (CSPI) is the featured speaker at this year\u2019s
\nIngredient Marketplace, June 2 to 3, 2014, at the Jacob Javits Center in
\n New York City. He plans to delve into the topic of biotechnology and
\nthe future of ingredient supply chain during his hour discussion on
\nMonday, June 2, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

\t“Although one reads constantly in the
\nmedia and on the Internet about problems surrounding GMOs and the need
\nfor mandatory labeling and non-GM products, the reality is that
\ngenetically engineered crops are safe, provide some benefits, and are an
\n important part of the world’s agricultural system now and in the
\nfuture,” said Gregory Jaffe.\u00a0“Despite the heated rhetoric, most
\nconsumers know little about GMOs and for them labeling is not a
\npriority.”<\/p>\n

\tJaffe\u2019s talk will demystify this hot topic, explain how
\nengineered crops end up in different food ingredients and what food
\nindustry companies needs to know about this controversial topic.\u00a0He will
\n provide a roadmap for how companies should interact with consumers to
\nensure they have confidence in products containing engineered
\ningredients.<\/p>\n

\tJaffe has been with CSPI since 2001. He came to the
\norganization after serving as a trial attorney for the U.S. Department
\nof Justice\u00b9s Environmental and Natural Resources Division and as senior
\ncounsel with the U.S. EPA, Air Enforcement Division. He is a recognized
\ninternational expert on agricultural biotechnology and biosafety, and
\nhas published numerous articles and reports on those topics.<\/p>\n

\tHe has worked on biosafety regulatory
\nissues in the United States and throughout the world, including the
\nAfrican countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Mali, Ghana, Malawi, South
\n Africa, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. He was a member of the Secretary of
\nAgriculture\u00b9s Advisory Committee on Agricultural Biotechnology and 21st
\nCentury Agriculture from 2003 to 2008, and was reappointed to a new term
\n in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
