The genetics of virtually all plant-based food we eat today have been modified over time, so the term “GMO” could technically apply to all of them.

Will GMO crops hurt or help the environment? This isn’t a simple question to answer!

Are you concerned about eating food that has been genetically altered? What’s the benefit to me?

What if there was a way to help farmers grow crops that could protect themselves from pests while producing essential vitamins and minerals to fight malnutrition in children?

Crop breeding is a rapidly advancing science, that uses genetic and biological innovations to efficiently develop better crop varieties.

Food security "exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life."

DNA is like the boss of the company.  It gives all cells instructions that then passes down in the form of "codons", which is a three-block code.

Genetic engineering allows us to harness natural systems to produce crops with enhanced nutrition and to produce medicines that would not otherwise be possible.

Did you know the cultivation of the first crops led to the first permanent settlements? Plant domestication started some 10,000 years ago by farmers selecting the best performing plants in a field.
