It’s safe. It would help farmers deal with drought, support biodiversity, protect the environment and decrease a farms carbon footprint. It would help consumers cope with inflation and pay their food ...
Europe’s firewall against genetic modification gets a major crack with a new deal on gene-edited crops. Crops tailor-made using new gene-splicing techniques should face fewer regulations than ...
Mushrooms that don’t brown. Wheat that fights off disease. Tomatoes with a longer growing season. All of these crops are made possible by a gene-editing technology called CRISPR-Cas9. But now its ...
2022 has been a difficult year for European agriculture. We can start with the Russia/Ukraine conflict and how that has changed market conditions and supply chains of certain critical things, like ...
Hunger and undernourishment are two elements of food insecurity that have plagued Africa for years. And the menace is growing. In 2022, the African region accounted for the highest level of hunger as ...
The EU has agreed allow certain foods altered using genetic engineering techniques to be sold without special labeling under ...
On a list of the most controversial topics in science, genetically modified organisms would easily be close to the top. Concerns about their safety and effect on naturally bred species continue to ...
Steven Broyles, professor and chair of SUNY Cortland’s Biological Sciences Department, will discuss the pressing issues surrounding the role of genetically modified food in global sustainability on ...
Although genetically modified crops have some big advantages over their regular counterparts, initially creating the modified plants can be quite challenging. Scientists have now developed a simpler ...
