Biotech crops surge worldwide fierce opposition fades
Activists opposing bio technology in food will seek attention at summer conventions, but biotech crops spread rapidly. By 2000 nearly 75 million acres of corn, soybeans, and canola in the United States, with Argentina, Canada, and others expanding. New crops include a superrice with 85 percent higher yield and frost tolerant varieties, plus Golden Rice addressing Vitamin A deficiency. The EU pursues precaution over imports, risking World Trade Organization disputes. China expands pest resistant biotech cotton aiding 1 million farmers and saving jobs, while India considers its own cotton varieties. Dr Norman Borlaug warns organic farming cannot feed >4 billion people.
