About GMOs and Biotechnology
Biotechnology and GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are often misunderstood by many public advocacy groups and the public at large. The truth is that many of the foods we eat and products we are ccustomed to using are already genetically modified. Biotechnology is not an entirely new or untested science, and its benefits include protecting our environment, feeding our expanding world population, and assisting with the treatment and prevention of diseases worldwide. What follows is a collection of links we think you will find informative in your search for understanding of GMOs and biotechnology in general.
