In response to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ speech on GM crops at Rothamsted Research today, Greenpeace UK’s Chief Scientist, Dr Doug Parr said –

“It's a bit hard to take lessons on science from a climate change sceptic. Patterson’s inability to see the whole picture means he is missing the revolution in non-GM biotechnology which is making a real difference to lives now, while the GM lobbyists just carry on making promises. Patterson should be asking what works rather than blindly following agribusiness propaganda.
