Re: Gene Tinkering: YOU Are The Mice And They Don't Want You to Know
I realise, this thread is getting quite indepth but i thought i'd just
add a very 'general' fact i once learnt that may suggest we have to turn
to recombinant DNA techniques:-
* Increases in crop yeilds through improved plant varieties, more
efficient growing methods etc equals 1% per year
* World Pop'n is increasing at 1.6% per year
Theoretically unless we come up with vast crop yeild improvements,
eventually we will encounter a world food deficit.
Cheers,
Martin
