"Please pass me some more DNA".   It's in everything we eat and for some it's the center of controversy.  Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam has heard it all from the early years of "GMO" to the next emerging stages of genetic engineering.  It's still to be confirmed whether the newer techniques of genetic engineering will even be called GMO, but it will no do doubt have fans and critics.  Genetic progress has always been central to food production, but we haven't seen anything yet to compare with the new horizons. Some will fret and others will cheer but all will experience the application of these technologies at Dinner time.

DNA 4 Dinner — Alison Van Eenennaam, UC Davis - Farm To Table Talk

Is it best that our food is Local and Organic or Big and Conventional? Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed. The host, Rodger Wasson is a food and agriculture veteran.  Although he was the first of his family to leave the grain and livestock farm after five generations farming in America,  he’s continually worked for and with farmers though-out America and around the world. From directly managing commodity boards and councils to presently building the strategic consultancy, Idea Farming Inc., the Farm to Table Talk podcast has been created to satisfy the curiosity of today’s engaged consumers.
