Bioengineered crops are plant materials that have been modified through genetic engineering.
The remaining chapters of this book address various aspects of plant genetic engineering allied to crop improvement.
This paper reports agricultural professionals' views on the barriers towards further adoption of organic farming and genetic engineering.
They believed that the media's portrayal was often inaccurate and biased against genetic engineering in general.
In perhaps an overly optimistic push, proponents of genetic engineering promise to conquer world hunger.
The use of genetic engineering to produce pest resistant transgenic plants represents one of many current approaches aimed at increasing agricultural productivity.
Unlike the results for organic farming, there is little significant difference between the information sources used by general and targeted respondents on genetic engineering.
Alternatively, let us assume that our broader future suddenly became less predictable (perhaps genetic engineering is invented, which creates new and difficult-to-forecast possibilities).
