Super organics

Article Abstract:

Genetically modified foods were hailed as technological miracles a decade age, but such foods did not receive their full dose of nutrients, and was highly susceptible to disease and provided low yield. Smart breeding uses methods that are largely uncontroversial and unpatentable, and a new generation of food that is nutritious, delicious, safe and abundant crops requiring less pesticide, fertilizer and irrigation.
