Genetic engineering can help solve food crisis: US expert
Date: 3.8.2008
Over 850 million people across the world will not be able to get a square meal by 2025 DUE to food shortage, but it can be tackled, at least partially, through genetic engineering, says American agricultural expert Bruce M. Chassy.
The assistant dean (office of research) of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at Illinois said: “By 2025, there will be a shortage of 400 billion tonnes of cereal grains that make up our staple diet.”
