The Agri-Business Expo Center will be presenting an educational movie this week about GMO products.

Betty McPhee is on the board of the Ag Expo Center Commission. McPhee said one of the purposes of the Ag Expo Center is to provide education for the community. McPhee said the movie they will be presenting this week is called Food Evolution.

“It’s a very unique look at GMOs and how they have developed into this mass fury of people who may not even know what GMOs are, but they think that it’s something that they should not have,” McPhee said. “We don’t really have a stance on this, one way or the other. What we’re trying to do is bring an educational series to the community and that’s one of the things that the Ag Expo wants to continue to do and this is the first of many series.” 

The movie will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday at the Historic Missouri Theater in St. Joseph and will be followed by a panel discussion with experts from the Food and Agriculture industries.

Tickets are $8.00 and are available at Hy-Vee, the Performing Arts Association or the Ag Expo Office.
