ISAAA-KC Newest Publication- The Did You Know Booklet
May 4, 2007| |
Did you know that only 2% of the world's water is fresh, and 70% of it is used for agriculture? Did you know that we have been consuming DNA, genes, and microorganisms for hundreds of years? Did you know that rice paper doesn’t come from rice, and that peanuts aren’t nuts at all? If not, then the Did You Know booklet will surely answer your questions on agriculture, food, and biotechnology. The Did You Know booklet is divided into three volumes: Agriculture and the World, The Genome, the Cell, and the Laboratory, and Food and Crops. Did You Know is produced by the Global Knowledge Center on Crop Biotechnology (KC) of the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA).
