Bankers can help generate greater understanding about biotech foods

Walter J Armbruster

American Bankers Association, 2003, vol. 16, issue 4

Abstract: Even after almost a decade, the new biotech production practices, foods containing genetically modified ingredients, and policies shaping food production and purchases continue to be hotly debated around the world. The opportunities created by this technology, as well as the concerns, must be reconciled if the consuming public is to be comfortable with the quality and safety of the food system. Moving the deliberation forward with factual, science-based knowledge is critical to the future of every stakeholder in the food chain - from producer all the way through to consumer. To promote informed discussion, Farm Foundation has published The New Science of food: Facing Up to Our Biotechnology Choices, written by Mark Edelman and Dave Patton.
