The Bloomington Farmer's Market hosted a panel Monday evening to further look into whether or not GMO labeling is something needed.
GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms, a phrase which often comes with a negative association of growing produce and crops.
"This topic in particular is of a lot of interest to people and actually I think in general people are concerned about food and food safety and are eager to get a better understanding of it," said Marcia Veldman, the Farmer's Market Coordinator.
A recent IU study showed that 77% of community members desire GMO labeling on their food.
Veldman added the current interest is to continue learning more in order to make an informed decision.
The final decision on whether to require GMO labeling will be made by the Parks Department.
