GMOs and Agriculture

GMOs and Agriculture

What if we told you that there are both way more GMOs and way less GMO products on our shelves than most people think there are? Nick and Ellie dive into the different types of genetic modification in crops from long-term agricultural practices like selective breeding to new technologies like CRISPR. We also discuss the real villains of GMOs: utility patents and agricultural monopolies.
