See what academic or governmental research shows about food safety and genetically modified food. These sources helped illustrate the ‘green divides’ or gap between the public’s knowledge of these issues and what the policy and best available science tell us. By pointing out these discrepancies, The Green Divide aims to narrow the gaps and raise public awareness of these important issues.
