One way we can expand the benefits of biotechnology is to develop regulatory systems based on science, not politics. Impractical legal obstacles are stopping genetically-enhanced crops from saving millions from starvation.
Eleven-year-old Birke Baehr is in my kitchen today, talking about how he has been inspired to ditch his dreams of the NFL for aspirations of becoming an organic farmer.

Last year, Silk Soy--while continuing to offer a somewhat higher-priced organic option--pushed the majority of its soy milk to "natural". It changed Silk from the world's largest organic brand into, well, not.
After years of research, the FDA is holding final hearings before deciding whether to approve the first food produced by splicing the genes of one spe...
Advertisements are plentiful for all kinds of products and supplements that purport to improve longevity or fend off disease. What may be harder to find, however, are ways you can influence these yourself.
It is clear to the experts that the current generation of GMOs do not live up to the hype continuously broadcast by biotech companies and their promotional East Coast wing--the federal government.
Paraguay's federal agricultural agency's dramatic destruction of more than 100 acres of transgenic corn has provoked a fiery new round here in the debate about genetically modified crops.
