We will be working to revise and narrow this down to meet the seven minute mark but I wanted to provide it to you so you knew the general direction. Thanks so much for taking the time today to discuss. I hope you have a great weekend and I'll continue to keep you posted as this draft gets revised.

So sp#oifica%4p^ the use of a breeding method, recombinant DNA technology, which allows breeders to access useful genetic variation from any species. To some this movement of genes from one species to another is the overriding concern associated with G can understand that !a , both as a scientist and as a mother but as discuss, this breeding method is not hazar-doushas been proven safe, and is sometimes uniquely able to deliver useful traits like crops that are more resilient to climate change. The current and potential benefits of GM are too great to vote anything but YES on GM food. Thls-TBMO^technology often gets identified with Monsanto and Big Ag policy. But it is actually a method, one that can be used for many purposes^ lOdjiEfML^ In my own research on selection for disease resistant cattle, I use many breeding methods including traditional selection for healthy animals, and more recently the use of DNA markers to assist in selecting for disease resistance genes. As a geneticist I can envision how combining GM with these other breeding methods could syn«mistl^ally-accelerate the progress of my publicly-funded research program by enabling me to use GM to directly protect cattle from v^hinfection. As discussed by my debate partner, current commercial products include the widely-adopted herbicide-tolerant and insect-protected plants. In the q^wRmrl^i;^ ^sSa&S/fcWr$ fc&SiifteSiJS: :5ti^fe:<^fi5iSOtt almost twenty years since they were first introduced **&k:;i}:£E3«3*:i&^ •oo^ynarciall-lvcommercially, GM seeds have been rapidly planted by aiiatfeiiiife ;ssSdiir!f: t: fe iv-d-i.'^ i^tSs^t: tt^is: rti^st i^:. farmers wherever they have access, and are currently grown by 18 million farmers globally, 16.5 million of whom are small-holder farmers in the developing worldjtystjaf^^ What have been the impacts of this widespread adoption of the first generation of GM crops? As a scientist I look to the independent, peer- reviewed scientific literature to answer such questions, especially review studies and meta-analyses that present a summary of many independent studies, it is like a_ well-informed referee presenting an objective assessment of the state of play. Source: https://www.industrydocumentslibrary.ucsf.edu/chemical/docs/fnfm0226 A 2014 meta-analysis, funded by the German government, examined the results from 147 studies from around the globe that reported the impacts of GM soybean, ffiasecorn, or cotton on crop yields, pesticide use, and/or farmer profits. The conclusion of this c/ojm^3rehej^^ scientists.,,,- who declared they have no competing interests was "On average, GE technology adoption has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%." The yield gains and pesticide reductions are largest for insect- resistant crops, and the yield and profit gains are higher in developing countries than in developed countries." These sound like outcomes that w-©y4d----§hgjj]cL.be applauded by environmentalists, agriculturalists, and global development agencies alike. Beyond Jie^^ bi-eedlRf-tee4-waB-a4se-yrse4-^y-e£ublic sector scientists in Hawaii and here in New York have.L|sediUo produce a.trae-ffRg-^eT-virus-resistant papaya, an product which has_]itera]iy_saved the Hawaiian papaya industry. The Brazilian government has developed a "golden mosaic virus"-resistant bean. Other re«enT--introductions include drought-resistant corn and sugarcane, consumer traits like a non-browning, low-acrylamide potato, crops that produce f^a!#MeHn:^^ and alfalfa that can [mryrayjyoe--^ meaning a better conversion from hay to ice cream! Both nationally and internationally there are many pyMG-afi-el-pfivate-s-eoiGf scientists that are using this breeding tool to address urgent problems beyond herbicide tolerance and insect-resistance in a wide variety of crops. Land grant researchers are working to develop oranges that are resistant to citrus greening disease which is devastating the Florida orange industry, Here in New York researchers ar|yj^inp;...&^ wheat gene to develop a GM American Chestnut tree resistant to the imported chestnut blight.
