Bioengineering and GMO…… why should we care! The widely controversial use of bioengineered foods and GMOs in agriculture is a heavily debated topic, due in part to misinformation and misunderstanding of how and why they are used. This workshop promotes healthy discussion of GMO usage and potential positive as well as negative impacts on society while drawing on participants personal experience.

Workshop presenter, Gioya Fennelly is an OCCA Board Member and lifelong educator. Before moving to Otsego County, she taught stem classes in New York City schools. She now grows countless types of peppers in her huge garden and teaches online classes. 

Presentation will be held at the Clark Sports Center at 1 pm on April 18th in partnership with the Connections Program.
