Genetically modified foods

The Discovery Pod: Episode 10

Welcome to The Discovery Pod, where we talk to leading experts from the University of Adelaide about solutions to society’s most pressing challenges. 

We’ve been changing our food to suit our needs for generations, but controversy has surrounded genetically modified foods since they were first introduced in the late 20th century. Why has there been such a strong backlash with GM? Are they really that bad or can they help us improve food production in the face of a changing climate and shifting nutritional demands? And how do we help people make informed food choices?

Join us this episode to discuss Genetically Modified Foods with host Andy Lowe and Matt Tucker (Deputy Director of Waite Research Institute, associate professor, and leading plant scientist).
