Thought for food

In 2007, Minister Chance organised a free public forum on the use of GM technology in agriculture as it relates to food and agriculture. The title of the forum was "Thought for Food" and the forum provided an excellent opportunity for interested organisations and community members to become better informed on GM issues.
