Combining Organic Farming with Genetically Engineered Crops

Committee on Public Affairs member Pam Ronald published an article in the Boston Globe on March 16 addressing topics from a book she and her husband wrote, Tomorrow’s Table: Organic Farming, Genetics, and the Future of Food. The book became available earlier this year.

The article cites the merits of combining organic farming practices with the use of genetically engineered crops. Pam has taken the lead for a number of years in seeking better relations between organic farmers and interests involved in modern plant science technologies, including genetic engineering.
