Ambassador’s Report

As GHI’s Ambassador to Canada, I plan to participate and represent GHI at local meetings, such as conferences of the Ontario Food Protection Association (OFPA) that take place twice a year. In the future, I will contribute to GHI books and reviews, communicate GHI message in Canada through blogs and internet articles, and participate in GHI meeting. I will also respond to local disinformation, report activities to GHI, organize on-line lectures and trainings, and write blogs for the media. As a new group leader of the Novel Technologies Group, I am planning to prepare a survey on international regulations related to novel technologies.
