    This is kind of a neat site. A very up to date site/blog about GMO activity in the news and as it happens.

    They make some good points about the versatility of GM agriculture by discussing how crops can be grown in harsher climates. Should this begin to happen, we could see a lot more farming in regions other than the plains in the midwest. There may be a much greater and even distribution of agricultural goods, which might lead to economic advantages, and other positive opportunities. I completely agree with Matt however, it is a very biased article. The author takes no time to draw any conclusions about the downfalls of GMOs

This paper focuses primarily on the environmental successes and failures of that investment and the implications of that experience for U.S. readiness to deal with the next generation of agricultural biotechnology products

    Knowing that the earth's human population is approaching or maybe has already exceeded its limit as far as available resources go, its good to see that this worldly issue is being addressed by GMOs. Good to see that there are some positive outcomes that weigh heavy on the future of the world.
