Will we be able to use the tools of modern molecular science to help crop plants adapt to a changing climate? Will we be able to use them to accelerate the development of new crop plants? Many well-meaning people around the world still believe that GM crops are dangerous, their beliefs fueled by misinformation – even disinformation – on the Internet, from public interest groups and the communications media. Although some European countries, particularly Spain, are growing GM crops, much of Europe, Japan – and most of Africa – remain adamantly opposed to crops improved using molecular techniques. These persistent perceptions have resulted in restrictive and costly regulation of such crops – even banning of both their use and even to their import as food aid.
