Professor Sir John Beddington said there was no one ”silver bullet” to the ”enormously serious” problem of feeding the world in the future in the face of problems such as climate change, population growth and energy shortages.
He told BBC Breakfast: ”If there are genetically modified (GM) organisms that actually solve problems that we can’t solve in other ways, and are shown to be safe from a human health point of view, and safe from an environmental point of view, and they can solve problems we can’t solve otherwise, then we should use them.
