The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) is currently reviewing the content of this website. In the meantime, you may be interested in FDF's Five-Fold Environmental Ambition. The foodfuture website has been produced by the FDF, on behalf of the UK food and drink manufacturing industry. FDF worked in consultation with a panel of experts, as part of its foodfuture initiative, to provide consumers with facts and figures about genetically modified (GM) crops and foods. foodfuture explains what GM crops and foods are and what benefits and risks might arise from their use. It examines some of the concerns most commonly raised about the technology and reviews the current regulatory controls. It is hoped that this will make a useful contribution to a balanced debate on this important subject. Last updated: 15 January 2008
