\"FoodLabelv1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our second annual conference explored the legal and policy aspects of food labeling and its effects on consumer knowledge, choice, and behavior. Our forum brought together a host of authorities on food law and policy to discuss a number of pressing questions, including: What should we know about what\u2019s in our food and how it is grown? What considerations should inform these decisions? Are food labels a meaningful tool to encourage better nutrition choices?<\/p>\n

Videos from the conference are available on our YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
