What is in the future for genetically-modified crops?
High adoption rates reflect grower satisfaction with the products that offer significant benefitsranging from more convenient and flexible crop management, higher productivity or net returns/acre and a safer environment through decreased use of conventional pesticides, which collectively contribute to a more sustainable agriculture. As expansion of transgenic crops continues, a shift will occur from the current generation of “input” agronomic traits to the next generation of “output” quality traits, which will result in improved and specialized nutritional food and feed products that will satisfy a high-value-added market; this will significantly affect the value of the global transgenic crop market and also broaden the beneficiary profile from growers to consumers which could in turn have important implications for public acceptance. Genetically-modified foods have the potential to solve many of the world’s hunger and malnutrition problems, and to help protect and preserve the environ
