GMO debate to highlight Food and Ag Summit

LOVELAND — An afternoon debate over genetically modified organisms, their safety and labeling will be among the features of BizWest’s inaugural Food and Ag Summit, to be held March 30 in Loveland.

The all-day event will bring together representatives of Colorado’s agriculture and natural-foods organizations and companies to offer the latest insights affecting the future of the food and agriculture sectors. The summit, to be held at The Ranch’s First National Bank building, 5280 Arena Circle, will offer information on new technologies and trends, networking with producers and providers, and discussion on such topics as the Food Safety Modernization Act, finding the right people at the right price, financing, global trade, regenerative agriculture and immigration issues.

Debating the hot-button issue of GMOs will be CSU professor Patrick Byrne, Colorado Corn Growers Association board president Dave Eckhart, Compass Natural Marketing owner Steve Hoffman and Rebekah Lyle, director of marketing for White Wave’s Silk plant-based foods and beverages.
