Robert Fraley, Monsanto’s Chief Technology Officer and this year’s winner of the dubious World Food Prize, recently admitted that Monsanto made a huge strategic error by focusing educational outreach on growers and ignoring consumers.

Colorado: For Bradford Heap, the chef-owner of Salt Bistro and Colterra, going 100 percent GMO-free is more than just a good idea: The pledge is part of his own personal mission as a chef, a father, and a world citizen. “This issue belongs to all of us in the food industry,” Heap says. “It’s up to us as both providers and consumers in America to do something about the pervasive corruption in our country’s food supply. We have the power to demand food that is not only good to eat but is good for us and leaves a planet that is good for our children.”

Oregon:“People are thrilled to know they have an option for GMO-free foods and are appreciative, almost to the point of tears,” restaurant owner Glen Hendricks said in an interview with the newspaper. “We had the best January and February here since the first year we opened, and I’m confident to some extent we’re being embraced by the community that appreciates GMO-free, organic and gluten-free.”

Pennsylvania: One chef in Pittsburgh wants to open a conversation. It's about GMOs -- genetically modified organisms. Trevett Hooper unabashedly dreams of a restaurant in his own future that will offer nothing but extremely local organic food year-round, without a genetically modified atom on the plate.

This is the latest frontier in the battle over genetically modified food. Atlantic salmon, altered with genetic material from a chinook salmon and an ocean pout. The result is a fish that grows to market weight twice as fast as wild salmon. "Most producers will say it takes 24-30 months to produce a market size salmon. We can do that in 18," said AquaBounty CEO Ron Stotish.

Genetically modified foods have been around for years, but most Americans have no idea if they are eating them.

Lowering temperatures for two hours each day reduces the height of corn without affecting its seed yield, a Purdue study shows, a technique that could be used to grow crops in controlled-environment facilities in caves and former mines.

A minister counselor for Germany's agriculture department talked food and agriculture in Dodge County last week.

Vermont became the first state in the US on Thursday to adopt a law requiring labels for foods containing genetically modified ingredients. The state's governor, Peter Shumlin, announced on his Twitter feed that he would hold a signing ceremony on Thursday afternoon to sign the new measure into law.

Don't count your free-ranging, organically fed chickens until they hatch. While we greeted with enthusiasm the news that Vermont is the first state in the nation to require the labeling of genetically modified foods, the fight has just begun.

A University of California report has exposed the injustice that prohibits a genetically engineered additive to rice. Without it, the death of millions of children has occurred, notably in Africa and India.
