2011 ISAAA Report on Global Status of Biotech/GM Crops by Dr. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

I S A A A 2011 ISAAA Report on Global Status of Biotech/GM Crops by Dr. Clive James Founder and Chair, ISAAA Board of Directors International Service for the Acquisition Of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) http://www.isaaa.org

ISAAA I S A A A US registered, Not-for-Profit Charity, co-sponsored by public and private sector organizations Mission of ISAAA: • Share knowledge on crop biotechnology so that the global community is more well informed about the attributes and potential of the new technologies • Contribute to poverty alleviation by increasing crop productivity and income generation, particularly for resource-poor farmers, and to bring about a safer environment and more sustainable agricultural development, through crop biotechnology. • For more information, visit http://www.isaaa.org

The Philanthropic Co-sponsors of the ISAAA 2011 Report I S A A A Fondazione Bussolera-Branca, Italy – supports the sharing of knowledge to aid global society to make knowledge-based decisions about biotech crops Ibercaja, Spain – the fourth largest bank in Spain based in the maize growing area of the country where Bt maize is successfully grown – the largest area of Bt maize in the EU
