Growers in U.S., Canada, Australia back GMO wheat
Farm groups from the world’s top wheat-exporting nations on Thursday said they had reached an agreement to support a ”synchronized” commercialization of biotech traits in wheat. Though any market roll-out of a genetically altered wheat would be years away, the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) said Thursday it had signed up grain growers in Canada and Australia in a deal that would align the nations against any international backlash if and when a biotech wheat was introduced.
