    PrintThe U.S Food and Drug Administration held public meetings in Charlotte, North Carolina, and San Francisco, California, regarding its Agricultural Biotechnology Education and Outreach Initiative. Congress appropriated $3 million to fund this initiative, which calls upon the FDA to work with USDA to provide education and outreach to the public on agricultural biotechnology and food and animal feed ingredients derived from biotechnology.

The purpose of the public meetings was to provide the public with an opportunity to share information, experiences, and suggestions to help inform the development of this education and outreach initiative.
