Presenter, Jimmy Doherty.
"Around the world a food crisis is looming. Global demand for crops is exceeding supply. Many plant scientist believe genetic modification is the answer, boosting food production and preventing famines. To others it is a dangerous untested science that threatens environmental disaster. So where does the truth lie? Jimmy Doherty - pig farmer, environmentalist and former entomologist - is on a mission to find out, gathering views from scientists, environmentalists and farmers across the world. If the technology is there, and it could help feed our planet, why don't we use it? But if it's not properly tested, could genetic modification unleash a host of problems we barely even now about?"--container.
