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.
