4 days ago · In this Q&A, Carbon Brief looks at the difference between GMOs and gene-edited foods and whether these technologies can help crops deal with climate change while boosting food security.
2 days ago · Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provide certain advantages to producers and consumers. Modified plants, for example, can at least initially help protect crops by providing resistance to a specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food production. GMOs are also important sources of medicine.

5 days ago · Organic meat and milk can be richer in certain nutrients. Results of a 2016 European study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions. Organic food is GMO-free.
2 days ago · Biotechnology and genetic modification techniques have the potential to help meet the world’s increasing food supply needs in more efficient, economical, and sustainable ways, by minimizing the use of important resources like land, water, and other inputs, helping reduce waste, and in some cases saving lives through nutrient enhancement of foods.
