Collaboration Corner
While many of The Center for Food Integrity's (CFI) programs and services are consumer-facing, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with industry partners to reach both consumers and food system thought leaders. The 2015 Commodity Classic trade show provided one such opportunity, when CFI partnered with The Council for Biotechnology (BIO) to share information about GMO Answers, the go-to resource for consumers who have questions about GMOs. 

Several of the resources on the GMO Answers website use content from CFI's Best Food Facts website, and together, Best Food Facts and GMO Answers are meeting consumers' desire for greater information about the food system.
