WELCOME

The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at UC Davis has a long and proud history of championing the responsible stewardship of our natural resources, alongside our evolving agriculture and food systems. Since its founding in 1991 under the vision and leadership of Dean John E. Kinsella, the California Institute of Food and Agricultural Research (CIFAR) has contributed significantly to the attainment of college objectives, serving as an innovation portal where best practices in utilizing research and resources in a sustainable and efficient manner are shared by an international cadre of like-minded individuals, thought leaders, industry professionals, faculty members, and CIFAR member companies and organizations.

Continuing a series of CIFAR-hosted events, the purpose of this conference is to engage the audience in all “angles” of genetically modified (GM) foods, beginning with the film-Food Evolution and followed by commentaries from panelists and audience participation. After lunch, the focus will be on new GM approaches, including gene editing, with some examples where this is being practiced. The discussion will turn to give insights into both eastern (China) and western (USA, European) consumers, and finally to the opportunities for evidence-based education and communication. The presentations are designed to encourage dialogue about the role of GM in ensuring food for everyone on the planet. The conference organizers are addressing this topic head-on to gain insights from its participants in order to capture the highlights in a publication that is disseminated worldwide.

Thank you for attending and engaging in the discussion.

GlobalHealthShareÒ,UCDavishttp://ghs.ucdavis.edu

Global HealthShareÒ is a project-based program dedicated to promoting health and wellness in developing countries around the world through the power of sharing knowledge, technology and resources. GHS mission to increase global economic citizenship; one healthy village at time represents a new paradigm for the 21st century. Through our global network of academic institutions, humanitarian organizations and private sector partners, GHS uses proven technologies to deliver nutritional and health-based solutions to prevent human hunger and disease in the developing world. By linking innovative enterprise development models to animal, human, and community health, GHS believes it can break the pernicious cycle of poverty and disease that enslaves billions of people to the bottom of the economic pyramid. By focusing its micro-interventions on key performance indicators along the food/ag value chain, GHS believes is helping smallholder farmers and entrepreneurs achieve, affordable, sustainable and culturally appropriate benefits for their communities and region. By incorporating information communications technology (ITC), wireless connectivity and social networking, GHS believes the benefits of its interventions and enterprise models will become self-managing, self-propagating and self-sustaining as they spread from region to region and country to country. As an accelerator of translational research, GHS members and partners are committed to sharing their collective assets (e.g., expertise, intellectual property, materials, infrastructure, and capacity) to achieve its mission and goals. GHS will combine proven technologies and the latest advances in nutrition and health into innovative, affordable, and life-saving solutions for vulnerable populations around the world. GHS approach is based on the following principles: • Identify solutions and enterprise models that will benefit large, underserved populations currently neglected by profit-driven organizations. • Partner with industry, scientists, healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations to improve health and wellness by delivering the benefits of GHS interventions, technologies and enterprise models. • Leverage the resources needed to support downstream development (i.e., product formulation, clinical trials, delivery process, etc.) rather than on discovery research or major capital expenditures. • Promote self-sufficiency and sustainability through the dissemination of knowledge and training to targeted populations using experiential, classroom and online instruction. • Empower women and girls with the tools needed to improve

themselves and the communities they live in.
