Publications

We outline basic facts as well as provide in-depth information about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the complex issues that they raise. We provide this information in many different formats, for consumers and farmers. We research many important questions raised by the use of this technology in food and farming, including the potential environmental, social and economic impacts.
