The idea
The biorevolution is genetic engineering of plants and animals with the potential to exceed the Green Revolution's production; GMOs have laboratory-modified DNA. Organic farming excludes commercial fertilizers, pesticides, growth hormones and GMOs. Sustainable agriculture produces safe, high-quality food while protecting environment, farmers and animals.
In practice
Reactions to GM food ripple through the food system.
Where people slip
Sustainable intensification is the current focus.
