Abstract

Policymakers around the world are trying to solve the puzzle of feeding nine billion people by 2050 while reducing greenhouse gas emissions along with water and land use. There is no silver bullet for this multidimensional challenge, but scientists have developed new techniques that combine conventional and genetically modified (GM) crop breeding methods, and which seem as a good and sustainable bet for maximising agricultural efficiency by the rate of 70 to 100% that is said to be needed. But given Europe’s longstanding resistance towards GM crops, as well as the legal barriers in place, can GM crops ever be used to serve humanity any time soon?
