FEDS MAY PROMOTE ENGINEERED CROPS
TheAgriculture Department is considering playing a broader role in helping
to market genetically engineered crops and in segregating those crops from
non-engineered ones, according to Secretary, Dan Glickman. Some countries
and food processors are demanding only non-modified crops, a development
that threatens American farm exports, unless the identity of varities can be
guaranteed. The Agriculture Department is seeking public comment on issues
like whether it should be
involved in accrediting, reviewing or certifying the performance of programs
aimed at ensuring that crops are not contaminated by other varieties.
