Extract from “Europe’s Retreat from Science Threatens World Peace” published in Industrial Biotechnology by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Publishers (Joseph Byrum)
“… the European Union has decided to take technology — and the peace it brings — for granted. Instead of allowing a scientific approach to growing food, Europe has withdrawn its technology, dense capital investment and fertile soil from the global effort to achieve a long-term food security solution. As the European Union is the world’s top exporter of food products, this is a major setback that the world can’t afford.”
