CLEARLAKE – Join the Lake County Community Co-op (LCCC) for a presentation about genetic engineering in agriculture and its impact on our food system.

Co-op members and the general public are invited to attend from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 13, in Room 908 at the Yuba College Clear Lake Campus, 15880 Dam Road Extension in Clearlake.

The event is free to Lake County Co-op members and to the public.

Local resident and organic farmer, Thurston Williams of Clover Creek Farm in Upper Lake, will discuss the implications of genetically engineered agriculture on our food system, the environment, our local farmers, consumers and society as a whole.
