PIFB to Conclude March 2007
News Date January 30, 2007
Last week the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology (PIFB) announced it will conclude its work at the end of March 2007. Established by The Pew Charitable Trusts in 2001, the project's leaders believe it has achieved its goals of illuminating policy issues arising from advances in agricultural biotech and serving as an "honest broker" that could bring stakeholders of differing views together to discuss opportunities and challenges that agricultural biotech presents.
NASDA partnered with the PIFB to conduct three dialogue symposiums. Research and other materials produced by the PIFB, including proceedings from the three NASDA-PIFB meetings, will continue to be available on PIFB website (http://pewagbiotech.org/) after it closes.
