Casacuberta considers GMOs as an additional newer technique that can be used by farmers to change crops’ characteristics, adapting to changing climates and extreme weather.

The fight over the labeling of genetically modified organisms hits close to home for many in the heartland, where U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo from Kansas is trying to block states and local governments ...

GMOs get a bad rap, but they’re generally thought to be safe and healthy to consume, researchers say. Here are some examples of GMOs, along with their pros and cons, and whether to avoid them.

Mushrooms that don’t brown. Wheat that fights off disease. Tomatoes with a longer growing season. All of these crops are made possible by a gene-editing technology called CRISPR-Cas9. But now ...

Genetically modified organisms or GMOs are organisms that have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology. This relatively new science allows DNA from one species to be ...

Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, tend to have a poor reputation. Play a word association game with GMOs and people often think along the lines of gross mutations, unhealthy food, and ...

Non-GMO is just one of the requirements organic foods must meet in order to be certified as organic. The organic certification program, which is overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ...

Advances in genetic engineering have given rise to an era of foods — including genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-edited foods — that promise to revolutionize the way we eat.

Genetically modified foods have been on supermarket shelves since the 1990s, but they’ve only required a label for the last year. The USDA says implementation and compliance with the program ...

Genetically modified mosquitoes are created in a lab to stop the spread of certain diseases. Learn more about how they’re made, what they’re used for, and whether they might pose health risks ...

Genetically modified crops produce proteins from their own genes and from the genes of other species. On opposite sides of the Atlantic, the conflict has played out in different ways.
