U.S. education programmes on GE crops: Germany, Guatemala, Japan
Farmers in Germany, particularly those with larger operations in Eastern Germany, have shown a growing interest in using biotechnology despite public opposition against biotech foods. To explain the benefits and the advantages of using biotechnology in crop production, FAS Germany organized a week-long outreach program in June 2008 in conjunction with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Information Program (ITP). The main feature of the outreach program involved a speaking duo consisting of a farmer from Iowa and a Bioindustry Project Manager from the Iowa State University.
