GM potatoes reduce food waste via the non-browning/ non-bruising trait. Potatoes bruised during storage and transport contribute to 400M lbs. of food waste each year. 6 The GMO Potato: from Farm to Plate OES GMOs allow farmers to grow more with less resources.3 In a single year, GMOs allowed farmers to use 59.7M fewer
At this time the Gatehouses were both at the University of Durham. In 2014, a team of British scientists published a paper about three-year field trial showing that another genetically modified version of the Désirée cultivar can resist infection after exposure to late blight, one of the most serious diseases of potatoes. They developed this ...
