The Science of
GMOs
Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, are a major issue about which many of us know relatively little. We want to know what we’re eating, and we want to know how this issue is impacting the environment. Knowing
more equips us to make the best decisions for ourselves and generations
to come. GMOs are complex, so we’ve broken the issue down into different
categories. Click on the question that most concerns you. Read the
answer or listen to an interview with one of Purdue’s College of
Agriculture scientists. You can always count on this site to address
this complicated and evolving issue with neutral, scientifically sound
information. Also, as a head’s up, scientists often prefer to use the term genetically engineered (GE) rather than GMOs, as it’s a slightly more accurate term. However in this context, they can be used interchangeably!
