The Agriculture and Food Systems Institute (AFSI) implements intercessional workshops associated with the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation High Level Policy Dialogue on Agricultural Biotechnology (APEC HLPDAB) with support from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). A subset of these workshops are part of the Agricultural Biotechnology Seminar Series, which recently concluded its second year. AFSI facilitates these online events to provide a virtual platform for APEC economies to share resources, exchange experiences, and promote knowledge for the adoption, use, and trade of agricultural biotechnology products. Each year, APEC economies rotate to lead 90-minute virtual seminars on various issues related to the use and trade of agricultural biotechnologies and their products within the APEC region. Hosts of the 2023 seminar series included the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines. |
