We kick off our coverage of top policy wonks with some celebrated veterans of the agriculture sector. Remember the faces—they will turn up often in ag discussions. We will look at some younger movers and shakers next time.
Great to receive this! Minor issue with your dates, Wu has actually been researching Bt cotton since the late 1990s. He was a key figure in the biosafety trials to determine the effectiveness of GM cotton against cotton bollworm, and non-target pest resistance etc in that period.
Thanks so much for your comment. Great to see we are read closely. Indeed Wu has a long and distinguished research career. Our profiles are snapshots that aim to catch what members of the policy community are saying about current issues. Hence the focus here is on fall armyworm that has been causing widespread damage in recent years and his remarks addressing concern about GMOs given the impending moves to approve GMO corn and soybeans as imports hit records and Beijing doubles down on self-reliance.
