Are You Planning on Disseminating Transgenics as part of HarvestPlus?
HarvestPlus is conducting preliminary research to determine what role transgenics can play in breeding biofortified crops. All crops developed by HarvestPlus are public goods and will be given over to countries upon request. It is the national agricultural research programs in developing countries that will make dissemination decisions. Furthermore, as policy, HarvestPlus will not distribute GMOs ever developed under its auspices to any country that does not have biosafety regulatory systems in place or does not wish to adopt transgenic varieties.
