Newswise — Uncertainty looms as Vermont becomes the first state to label GMOs with Congress potentially voting next week on a less stringent federal bill. It is unlikely that anyone is more well positioned than University of Vermont researcher Jane Kolodinsky, professor and chair of Community Development and Applied Economics, to respond to questions about this complex and evolving issue.

Kolodinsky https://www.uvm.edu/cdae/?Page=bio-kolodinsky.php, who has more than 200 published journal articles, is an expert in applied economics and the application of the concepts of demand, consumer behavior, and marketing principles to improve consumer wellbeing and as longtime Vermonter intricately involved in the GMO labeling issue.

Kolodinsky's recent article in The Conversation https://www.theconversation.com/why-the-gm-food-labeling-debate-is-not-over-61560 has been picked up by multiple media outlets and has added needed clarity to the complicated issue that is GMO labeling.
