1.Anger after Bill Gates gives GBP6m to British lab to develop GM crops
2.GBP6.4m grant awarded for GM cereals
EXTRACTS: Dr Michael Antoniou, a molecular geneticist from King's College London's medical school [said]: "There are safer, proven technologies, so I'm afraid the Gateses have been grossly misled. GM has failed to deliver for farmers.." (item 1)
Soil Association policy director, Peter Melchett, added: "This grant is dwarfed by the GBP45 million of UK taxpayers' money already given to the John Innes Centre. Researchers working on the possibility of creating nitrogen fixing crops admit that any possible practical application is decades away, and some genetic experts, who are not working on this project, say that genetic engineering cannot actually deliver commercial crops that will fix Nitrogen."
