UH Professors to Host Panel on Monsanto

By /
Monsanto and GMO’s are always stirring controversy in Hawaii. 

It’s an intriguing issue and UH professors Cynthia Franklin and Laura Lyons are hosting a panel discussion on the topic on January 18th at the Center for Hawaiian Studies, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. 

So far, panelists include Kamuela Enos (Ma’o Farms), Trisha Kehaulani Watson (Honua Consulting) and Walter Ritte (longtime Molokai activist). The organizers are also hoping to secure a representative from Monsanto. 

The panel will be moderated by Jon Osorio.
