An international conference exploring the ways to allow coexistence between GM and non-GM crops will be held in Melbourne in November 2009.
The Genetically Modified Crops Coexistence (GMCC) conference is the only international forum that focuses on coexistence between GM and non GM crops throughout the entire supply chain. The Melbourne event will cover key issues from production level to the market place or ‘paddock to plate’.
GMCC’09 will highlight the progress of the Australian approach to coexistence of GM and non-GM canola.
The conference will also address the measures that are being planned for new GM crops including wheat, rice, sugar cane and pastures.
The event will be highly relevant for industry, policy, agricultural biotechnology and agribusiness communities.
GMCC’09 will be held 10-12 November 2009.
Calls for abstracts will be made shortly.
