A handful of high-yielding crops feed the world's ever-increasing population. Have we become too reliant on wheat, maize and rice? What happens when diseases attack them? Can we develop new disease-resistant strains? Or have we lost too many plants, neglecting age-old fruit, vegetable and cereal varieties that could provide the answers? With thanks to IFAD and Bioversity.
Wasn't this also presented in "Nature Inc. " ?? The Series is facinatingly informative, especially for Food Scientists. Many thanks! Runi

Conscientious caretakers must do all they can to keep GM seeds out of Tamil Nadu and similar pristine areas around the globe. GM crops affect the wildlife as well, which starts the vicious cycle all over again.
