Benefits of Biotech
Biotech crops that directly address consumer needs include crops with enhanced nutritional qualities, as well as those that limit food spoilage and waste, such as canola and soybean with higher levels of healthy fats, “golden rice” varieties with extra beta carotene to prevent vitamin A deficiency and arctic apples that do not turn brown after slicing.
For more information please see Plant Biotech 101.
