Can organics and biotechnology co-exist?
The co-existence of organics and biotechnology was the focus of the recent BIGMAP (Biosafety Institute for Genetically Modified Agricultural Products) Symposium in Ames, Iowa. One of the speakers was Lowell Rheinheimer, who oversees the organic feed program for the CROPP Cooperative. CROPP markets the Organic Valley brand of dairy products across the U.S. Rheinheimer tells Brownfield that maintaining organic integrity in what he calls “a sea of transgenics” is a major challenge—and he says the issue of “genetic trespass” must be addressed.
