I’ve heard farmers have to buy new plant seeds every year. Why can’t they save and re-use their seeds instead?

Farmers do have a choice and any requirement to buy seed (organic, conventional, or genetically modified varieties) each year can arise from equipment requirements, planting choice, biological and/or contractual reasons.

Are GM crops and pesticides tested? Are they safe?

I’ve heard Europe, China and Japan don’t accept GM crops. So why are they allowed to be grown and imported in Australia?

How do I know the food we are eating is healthy and safe?

How does plant science improve lives?

How do farmers manage pesticide resistance?

I’m worried about climate change. How is the plant science industry playing its part?

I support Australian farmers, how does plant science support them?

Why do we even need agricultural biotechnology or GM crops?

How are we going to feed 10 billion people in 2050?

Do we actually need pesticides?

What are endocrine disruptors?

What do you mean by the best of the plant science industry?

I’ve heard about declining numbers of bees around the world and colony collapse disorder. What is causing this?
