STEMcast Episode 30 | Biotechnologies and Their Perception in India with Dr. Julia Freeman: How Can We Best Utilize this Technology, and What’s Stopping Us?
On this episode of STEMcast, Dr. Julia Freeman walks us through her experience working with farmers in India to understand the impact that modern biotechnology is having on both a personal and industrial level. She explains that biotech has more complicated questions associated with it than what most sensationalist coverage about it (both pro- and anti-biotech) makes apparent. Where is biotech a solution, and where does it need legislative protection? How to protect farmers health and economic well-being while taking advantage of these technologies? Are farmers choosing these seeds, or is biotech being forced upon them? Hear an on-field perspective in this episode of STEMcast.
