On November 19, from 2:30 – 3:30 (EST), the Agricultural & Food Law Consortium will host a free webinar that focuses on GMO labeling laws, proposals, and initiatives titled, Mandatory GMO Labeling Laws: Overview and Status of Current Legal Issues.
Ross Pifer, (J.D., LL.M.) Director of the Agricultural Law Resource Reference Center at Penn State Law, will be the presenter.
The Consortium is a first-of-its-kind multi-institutional collaboration designed to enhance and expand the development and delivery of authoritative, timely, and objective agricultural and food law research and information. The Consortium is funded in part by a $750,000 multi-year grant provided by the USDA Agricultural Research Service, National Agricultural Library. Led by the National Agricultural Law Center, the Consortium is a multi-year partnership that includes the following members:
· The National Sea Grant Law Center at the University of Mississippi School of Law;
· The Agricultural Law Resource and Reference Center at Penn State Law; and
· The Agricultural & Resource Law Programat The Ohio State University.
Within the past decade, ballot initiatives and legislative proposals addressing the labeling of “Genetically Modified Organisms,” commonly known as “GMOs,” have been proposed in several states across the country, as well as on the federal level. Recently, voters in two states considered legislation and others are sure to arise in the future. This program is designed for anyone interested in learning more about this active area of law and policy, specifically including non-attorneys and students. As time permits, there will be a Q&A session.
