Globalization of European biotechnology: Commercialization of agbiotech products despite political and legal restrictions

Abstract

Peter Welters reports that the scare-mongering of anti-GM-activists in Europe is increasingly recognized for what it is. Examples showing benefits of applying genetic engineering to plants are finding acceptance by the general public. “We have only to inform people correctly and constantly about the progress and the benefits of this new technology. Millions of farmers worldwide can’t be wrong.”
