Quotes
"The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that developing countries will have to boost their yields by half to meet the challenge of global hunger. We simply won't be able to meet that goal without using all the scientific tools at our disposal."
Bill Gates
"We need to undertake research to explore technological solutions to improve the security and consistency of supply. We must take the initiative to further develop higher-yielding and climate resilient varieties of crop."
Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister
"Biotechnology is an ally against hunger, and morally we cannot refuse them while scientists and experts endorse them with the highest rigor, best knowledge and transparency. I see no reason not to articulate their use."
Elena Espinosa, Minister of Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs
"In an area like GMOs, for example, it should be possible to combine a Community authorisation system, based on science, with freedom for Member States to decide whether or not they wish to cultivate GM crops on their territory."
Jose Manuel Durao Barroso , President of the European Commission
"Unless we can close the gap between GMO approvals in the EU and in feed-exporting countries such as US, Argentina and Brazil we may have hungry cows and struggling farmers."
