The Official Australian Reference Guide to Agricultural Biotechnology and GM Crops (4th Edition)

The fourth edition of the popular Official Australian Reference Guide to Agricultural Biotechnology and GM Crops provides objective information about genetically modified (GM) crops and other agricultural biotechnology innovations based on scientific evidence.

Innovation is and always has been crucial to the growth and sustainability of Australia’s agriculture, and it is our sustained investment in research and development that drives it forward. As we face rising pressures of a rapidly expanding global population, a changing climate and growing environmental concerns, the potential contribution of agricultural biotechnology has never been greater and it is becoming more widely acknowledged and adopted. It is vital for our future that decisions we make about agricultural biotechnology are built on credible, science-based information, not ideology and conjecture. Public discussion and debate on the topic must also be underpinned by clear, accessible and credible information.
