帕梅拉·罗纳德研究使植物对疾病和不利环境有更强抵抗能力的基因。在一个大开眼界的演讲上，她陈述了她帮助创造一种可以在洪水中生存更久的大米的多年探索。她解说了在50年代种子的基因发展如何挽救了夏威夷的木瓜作物——同时这也是为我们星球上不断增长的人口提高食物安全的最有效方法。

改造我们的食物的案例

Modern genetic techniques, alongside ecological farming, offer powerful tools to address food insecurity and environmental strain. A single gene helped rice plants survive flooding, benefiting over three million farmers in Asia. Engineered papayas rescued Hawaii's crop from devastating disease when no alternative worked. Each method should be judged by its impact, not its origin, as science shows engineered crops are as safe as traditional ones.

Genetic Engineering and Organic Farming Can Feed the Future
