Slow Food EU: what’s going on with New GMOs?

This year the SFYN podcast is hosting a new series all dedicated to the European policy in terms of food and agriculture. The series will be conducted by Slow Food Europe, which is in charge of involving Slow Food in the political debate on the European level. The special host of this series is Alice Poiron, communication officer at Slow Food Europe. The topics touched will be in line with the most updated and relevant debates around food and agriculture in Europe. 

Today we kick off the series with the topic of new GMOs! What are new GMOs? How do they differ from the old GMOs? What are the latest decisions of the EU on the matter? 

The guests of today are:

• Elisa D’Aloisio, peasant farmer at the European Coordination Via Campesina with a PhD in genetics and practical expertise in GMOs
• Martin Sommer, policy coordinator at IFOAM Organics Europe, the association for organic food and farming in Europe
• Madeleine Coste, Policy Officer at Slow Food Europe
