Since...\nThe first ever commercially grown, genetically modified food was the Flavr Savr Tomato, produced over 15 years ago. Production of the tomato stopped after only about 3 years because of competition with the Long Shelf-Life Tomato. Since then, the only GM foods grown in the US other than staples (soybeans, corn, and cotton for cottonseed oil) are papaya and squash. This is partly due the general public's reticence to embrace GM technology—a sentiment that, when examined, is based on little evidence of actual risk. But beyond the knee-jerk fear mongering, is there any reason to worry about the effects of more widespread consumption of GM food? Food experts Louise Fresco and Pamela Ronald help to tease apart truth from myth in the oft-misunderstood biotechnological food revolution. The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
