Why is there some resistance to agricultural biotech?
Agricultural biotech is a complex issue about a topic that is near and dear to all of us: our food. Some of the resistance stems from inaccurate or incomplete information about the science of biotechnology. Some comes from individuals’ personal beliefs about how things ought to be. Just as some people eat meat and others do not, or some choose to see conventional physicians while others prefer alternative healthcare practitioners, there are many opinions about agricultural biotech. Biotech is widely supported by farmers around the world, as well as numerous agricultural councils, government agencies, universities and international organizations.
