On GM foods, part 4: Genetically Engineered Farm Animals
This concludes my series on genetic engineering in agriculture. Today’s focus is on genetically engineered farm animals.
The role of genetic engineering in delivering what we want from our agricultural systems
For years, focus on the technology of genetic engineering in agriculture has overshadowed by a discussion about the results of its use. It’s time to flip our attention and state what we want from agriculture. Then, we can decide whether genetic engineering delivers the goods or not.
On GM foods, part 2: Let’s talk about what truly matters
With a focus on processes rather than products, discussions of genetically engineered foods miss the mark. Here’s how we can change those discussion for the better.
Genetic Engineering in Agriculture. Part 1: Let’s move this unproductive conversation forward
Genetic engineering of foods arouses great passion. Those who are either for or against will ardently seek to convince others of the inherent propriety of their viewpoints. The GMO discussion and all the words it has devoured is like a three-act pirouette. It just spins in place, going nowhere endlessly.
