That's in stark contrast to the developing world where millions of people confront profound food insecurity every day. Part of the solution to righting this imbalance might involve something that is increasingly controversial in the developed world: genetically engineered food. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2859 2) Farm Progress Survey Shows Widespread Acceptance Of Biotech Grain By Corn Belt Elevators More than 80 percent of grain elevators throughout the Corn Belt have said they are planning to accept biotech corn grain containing Bt and LibertyLink traits in the fall of 2000, according to a survey by the Farm Progress Companies. More than 88 percent of these elevators will accept biotech soybeans produced with the Roundup Ready trait. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2877 3) Scientists Embrace Food Biotechnology, But Some Food Companies Run for Cover Methods of modern biotechnology now provide farmers and food producers with advanced tools to produce more healthful and better tasting food, as well as produce which resist attacks by insects and survives inclement weather conditions. Genetically modified food is really nothing new: farmers have long performed cross breeding of plants to provide improved products. But today's sophisticated science allows food producers to make alterations selectively and with precision. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2924 4) UK: Blair's GM Food Comment Not A U-Turn Says Minister According to a Reuters story , the British government has maintained its position on genetically modified (GM) food despite an article by Prime Minister Tony Blair seen as signaling a shift in policy. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2952 5) Cloudy Horizons In A Brave New World These are tough times for agricultural and food biotechnology, but its regulators are active and thriving. This is no coincidence. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2955 AT MONSANTO.COM 1) Monsanto Reaffirms Safety Of Fiber From Cotton Monsanto has completed more than 400 person-years of safety research for its products, including biotech cotton. Additionally, regulatory agencies around the world have agreed on the safety of biotech cotton plants. All plants contain genes and DNA. Since each cotton fiber was once a living cell, it's not surprising that small pieces of the DNA from those genes are included in the pure cotton products on the market today. http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/mediacenter/background/00mar02_cot.html 2) Outcrossing Of Herbicide-Tolerant Canola Can Be Controlled: Growers Have Several Options Pollen flow - or the natural dispersion of pollen - is natural and expected in canola fields. It is important for growers to understand how pollen flow occurs, what can happen and how to effectively manage it to maintain productive yields and a healthy overall environment. In the February edition of Canola Digest, a pioneer in the creation of modern canola and Research, Scientist Emeritus Dr. R. Keith Downey, addresses here pollen flow in canola and how growers can effectively manage a number of considerations for canola growers, including herbicide tolerance. http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/mediacenter/background/00feb25_mcga.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- E-mails are never sent unsolicited and your e-mail address is strictly confidential, it will not be released to third parties.
