Biotechnology lobby group calls for GM crops to improve Australian food security after cyclone losses

A group supporting genetically-modified food says the loss of much of Queensland’s banana crop in Cyclone Yasi points to an example of how GM foods could improve food security in Australia. The Producers Forum [...] member Jeff Bidstrup says [...] ”Whether it’s bananas, wheat, sorghum or canola - all those things are around the corner where we’re able to actually modify the characteristics of the plants so we can grow them under different climates.”
