Grains of Truth About Biotechnology
U.S. Wheat Industry Statement on Biotechnology
Bioengineered foods would have a positive impact on the consumer in many ways. There is the convenience of having favorite fruits and vegetables available year-round instead of waiting for them to be 'in-season'. Biotechnology can remove undesirable traits, like allergens and toxins, from foods by creating a healthier product. It can also add desirable traits like additional nutrients which help prevent diseases. It positively impacts the environment by making farming practices quicker, more efficient and eliminating the need in some cases for certain types of pesticides and herbicides because their resistance has been bred into the plant.
