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
