Movements & Emerging Technologies Webinars present:

Are GMOs 2.0 in your food and cosmetics?

A webinar on synthetic biology for shoppers

Wednesday 5th October 2016 | 10am (PST), 1pm (EDT), 6pm (London)

Companies are sneaking new GMO foods into our food and cosmetics: gene-silenced apples, a GMO potato, synthetic biology flavors and fragrances are on their way to market, or already there — and they may even be marketed as “natural.” This webinar will tell you everything you need to know to avoid the new wave of GMOs and find truly natural and sustainable options.
