Originally posted by expat View PostSo what has GM got to do with food shortages?
The main obstacle to GM crops is public opinion
The great British public believe that GM will grow potatos the size of medicine balls
The great BritiSh public was mostly against GM
Because of some food shortages public opinion is shifting
hence my question
does anyone on here find their opinion shifting
I think the answer was a no.Except for me. I think yields will increase , and I also think they will do so with less water(which is the next big problem coming down the pipe)
I find myself becoming a big fan of GM
