Jack Bobo to address attendees at the AMSA 67th RMC
The American Meat Science Association is excited to announce Jack Bobo, Senior Advisor for Biotechnology in the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB) at the U.S. Department of State, will present at the AMSA 67th Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC) on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 in Madison, WI. His presentation “Can Agriculture Save the Planet before It Destroys It?” will discuss how in a hot, flat, hyper-connected world, social media may determine if agriculture will save the planet by 2050 or destroy it. Science and technology will likely hold the key to getting us where we need to go, but, if our media experience with GMOs and pink slime are any indication, we may be in for a bumpy ride.
Jack Bobo also serves as the Chief of the Department’s Biotechnology and Textile Trade Policy Division. He works on trade policy, food security, climate change, and development issues related to agricultural science and technology, including agricultural biotechnology.
