[Transgenic plants: the future of sustainable agriculture]

There has been a daily increase of evidence of the advantages of the transgenic plants which have been licensed so far. Every new product offers greater advantages as regards productivity, reduction of environmental impact, vitamin value and so on. The secret of the transgenic method lies in the fact that it enables strict selection in every phase in the laboratory and during field tests. Though it is still not possible to be risk-free, we can certainly trust transgenics better than plants classified as "organic".
