Gentic engineering is successfully used in the production of life saving medicines. As for plants, the issues that are of benefit to the farmers are pest resistance, increased yield, and the ability to grow under adverse conditions.

I haven't been able to find anything to that effect. skarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438206586553429725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17189016.post-5567608539361257382010-02-27T10:50:35.393+05:302010-02-27T10:50:35.393+05:30@ dr antony

It sold well until the current furore began. In 1996 the EU accepted the import of US genetically modified soya bean and maize, staple commodities which go untraced into a large number of processed foods.

I'm just shaking my head at how those in power think they can do such things- but then often- we, the people, stand by silent- and so they are able to.
