Genetically modified potato trial restarted in Yorkshire (UK)

七月 23, 2009
A trial of genetically modified potatoes which was vandalised last year has restarted, the Yorkshire Post can reveal.

The Leeds University trial aims to grow potatoes which are resistant to a microscopic worm which stunts their growth and costs British farmers £65m per year.

Scientists hope the research could allow much bigger yields to be grown, helping ensure food supplies in the future particularly in developing countries.

With GM food still proving controversial, the trial in North Yorkshire was abandoned last year when vandals struck, but now the Government has revealed it is under way again.
