Genetic engineering and sugarcane — health, consumers, farms and the environment
Genetic engineering is giving sugarcane a chance to prove its versatility and potential as a health product, as a replacement in the fossil fuel-to-product chain, on farms and in the environment. 

  

Genetic engineering and sugarcane — health & consumers

GE is giving sugar a chance to prove its versatility and potential as a health product and as a replacement in the fossil fuel-to-product chain.
  

Genetic engineering and sugarcane — nitrogen efficiency

GE is giving sugarcane growers new information and options to grow more sugar from better cane.
  

Genetic engineering and sugarcane — regulation and release of GM sugarcane

GE has been put forward as a way to feed burgeoning world populations and as a technique to help crops adapt to climate change. The Cooperative Research Centre for Sugar Industry Innovation through Biotechnology (CRC SIIB) is working with government authorities to assess the safe release of any GE plants in the future.
