If activists succeed in banning transgenic crops, argues Robert L. Evenson, an agricultural economist at Yale University, they will end up "hurting the poor of three continents. (technologyreview.com)
Gene4
It is the insertion of a gene into an organism, altering the genetic makeup. (sciencemediacentre.co.nz)
