Today on the show, we are joined by Alison Van Eenennaam, Professor of Cooperative Extension at the University of California-Davis. Alison joins the show to discuss the differences between GMO's and gene editing, how gene edited pigs can protect pigs from diseases like PRRS, and what the barriers might be to public acceptance.
