GM. In the beginning
Description
Genetically modified food is a perplexing issue. Most of what we eat is genetically changed in some way - even organic food. Maryanne Demasi explores the history of various conventional techniques of modifying plant DNA, including cross-breeding, mutational breeding and embryo rescue. It's genetic engineering techniques that provide the fastest route to crop diversity - and the techniques that generate the most fear amongst consumers.
