The National Academies’ Committee on Agricultural Biotechnology, Health, and the Environment (CABHE) and an ad hoc Steering Committee on Global Challenges and Directions for Agricultural Biotechnology are hosting a workshop to identify key global problems, and discuss the possible use of agricultural biotechnology as one of many tools for easing these problems. The organizers hope that contributions from people in developing countries will form the basis of the workshop’s deliberations and are inviting interested experts and stakeholders to provide input to the agenda.
