GMO Answers Celebrates 20 Years of Ag Biotech

In 1996, the first genetically modified (GM) crop was introduced for commercial production. In the time since, nine GMO crops have entered the U.S. commercial market and more than 1.8 billion hectares of GM crops have fed hungry populations across the world, bolstered economies and helped reduce the environmental impact of farming.

To commemorate 20 years of biotech innovation, GMO Answers invited a diverse group of experts in academia, agriculture, science and media to discuss “The Future of GMOs & Their Role in Sustainability.” During the discussion, experts explored the impact of biotechnology and what’s next for the future. Through lively discussion and debate, several key points came to light.  Watch the full Table for Twenty video here.
