plant varieties created with biotechnologyare grown more efficiently and economicallythan traditional crops. This eventually shouldresult in a more nutritious product at less

cost to the consumer as well as reducedpesticide use and greater environmentalprotection.

I believe the world will be able to producethe food needed to feed the projectedpopulation of about 8.3 billion in the year

2025but it cannot be attained withoutpermitting the use of technologies nowavailable or without research to further

improve and utilize new technologies,including biotechnology and recombinantDNA.
