Prior: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Symposium |
||||
| “Removing barriers to the uptake of GM animals as a sustainable solution to food security and safety” The OECD’s mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. This symposium will discuss with 15 representatives from research and regulatory organizations from seven countries, how policies need to be updated and public opinion corrected to benefit from technological advancements in livestock technologies. | ||||
