Mar 21, 2024 · The “Global Biotech Potato Partnership” project has shown promising results in confined field trials across Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria. The collaborative project, after promising trials, anticipates boosting harvests from 10 to 40 tonnes per hectare. Awaiting regulatory approval, this innovation could significantly enhance food security and ...
Dec 11, 2023 · The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), also known as genetic engineering or bioengineering, in food has emerged as an area of concern and confusion for parents and families. 8–11 The term GMO refers to foods (or other products) designed through genetic engineering, a process that introduces a desired trait into the product by inserting novel DNA from a separate organism.
Jan 29, 2015 · The differences are sharpest over biomedical research, including GMOs. 88% of AAAS scientists think eating GM food is safe, while only 37% of the public believes that’s true—a 51-percentage ...
Jan 1, 2023 · Abstract. Safety assessment guidelines and procedures to ensure the safety of food crops from new genetically modified (GMO) plants, animals, and microbes are important tools for evaluating product safety. The same guidelines have and could be used to evaluate the possible risks of new novel foods before they are introduced to the market.
Potato Supply chain. Chinese scientists ’reinvent’ potatoes to solve global food crisis. A graphic demonstration of the team’s research (Courtesy: Cell) July 14, 2021. Chinese scientists have 'fixed' hybrid potatoes using genome editing technologies, simplifying the breeding process and allowing multiplication using True Potato Seed (TPS).
Sep 1, 2013 · Nearly all the corn and soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified, but only two GM crops, Monsanto's MON810 maize and BASF's Amflora potato, are accepted in the European Union. Ten E.U ...
Dec 13, 2017 · The global yearly net income increased by 34.3% in 2010–2012. 13,14 Furthermore, while increasing global yield by 22%, GM crops reduced pesticide (active ingredient) usage by 37% and environmental impact (insecticide and herbicide use) by 18%. 15 To achieve the same yield standards more than 300 million acres of conventional crops would have ...
