The one-and-half-hour dialogue will be divided into three sessions. Main presenters will have 10 minutes to give their perspective on each sub-topic. After that, two discussants will have five minutes each to offer their perspectives on the topic for discussion. Main presenters may or may not use power point slides, but discussants will speak without any slides. Participants are highly encouraged to stick to the allocated time so we can hear as many voices in the room as possible. There will be time at the end of the discussion for general comments. Three main topics will be discussed; current impact of ag biotechnology in food systems transformation, future possible impacts of ag biotechnology in food systems transformation    and future possible impacts of gene editing in food systems transformation.
