Saskia Hogenhout, Project Leader/Research scientist
GM crops can increase yield and agricultural growth particularly in developing countries. In addition, insecticide usage can be reduced resulting in a better environment as evidenced by a greater abundance of invertebrate species in many Bt crop fields. Given these advantages, GM technology should be given a chance.

Christos Ktori, Student

Xavier Pons, Entomologist

Steven Beard, Software Engineer
Let's make progress through carefully planned an informed research rather than by misinformed panic and vandalism.

Norma Morris, Farmer

Martin Powell, Telecoms Consultant
We will learn through research and dialogue - this has to be better than destruction.

John Tregoning, Lecturer
GM crops are a significant part of the solution to global food shortage and will ultimately reduce the requirement for high pesticide usage improving the environment not harming it. Without trials such as this the cost benefit cannot be assessed. Please don't wreck the crops

La violencia ignorante no podrá hacernos retroceder hasta la época de las cavernas, aunque el camino hasta erradicar la incultura esté lleno de dificultades y superstición malsana.
