Welcome to the Agricultural Biotechnology Council (abc) – promoting biotechnology in sustainable agriculture.
Over the next 25 years, the world will have to double its production of food to meet the requirements of a growing population. In order to meet this challenge whilst facing up to the demands of climate change, farmers will need access to a range of tools to maximise the output of our existing land whilst ensuring that the natural environment is protected, conserved and enhanced.
Agricultural biotechnology, which fuses together plant science and genetic technologies to produce genetically modified (GM) crops, will be an important way of ensuring that natural resources are used more efficiently. This is why abc believes you need to put science at the heart of agriculture and that farmers in the UK should have the choice to access this technology.
We represent the interests of companies involved in agricultural biotechnology research and the commercialisation of GM crops in the UK. We aim to create the conditions in which the UK farmers can safely and appropriately adopt this technology, for the benefit of consumers, the rural economy and the environment, thus helping to deliver a more sustainable future in agriculture.
