For families, for parents that don't want to feed their kids GMOs, in the private marketplace there has grown up an abundant market.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
GMOs play a central role in meeting the challenge of providing affordable and nutritious food to consumers all over the world.
Middle-income countries are the biggest users of GMOs. Places like Brazil.
I take my kids to a farmers' market each Sunday to buy organic produce.
The battle over genetically modified crops is rife with business interests and political opportunism. When GMOs were first produced in laboratories around the world, they were rightly heralded as a tremendous leap forward in our ability to supplement nature by providing high-nutrient foods.
Many young and beginning farmers start out in local markets. Some stay there, and some scale up.
I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.
Modern genetic engineering makes producing GMO food products relatively easy. GMOs can improve crop yield and greatly enhance the nutritional value of those same crops.
Unfortunately in the U.S., the courts have pretty much sided with the GMO lobby and suggesting that a farmer has no rights to be protected from GMO contamination.
To reap the benefits of GMO technology, the U.S. must ensure that decisions about our food system are made based on science, not innuendo.
The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved, or even raised. If you're a farmer and you're growing a genetically engineering food crop, those genes are going to flow to the other farm.
