Pro-GMO

Here at Pro-GMO, we understand FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. New technologies can be disconcerting, in particular when it comes to food and medicine - things that are put into our bodies.

We feel it's important to help dispel those fears with information. Knowledge is power. Most fears about GMO's are based on the unknown - a lack of understanding behind the technologies (like CRISPR) that make modern GMO's possible.

It's important to understand, for example, that GMO's are nothing new - they have existed for millenniums. Your pets do not occur naturally - they are the product of selective breeding, one of the first forms of genetic modification. Many of the foods you eat every day, whether you realize it or not, are GMO's. They were modified using breeding and hybridization techniques. 

Today, with new technologies like CRISPR/CAS-9, we can modify genes with much greater accuracy and more predictable results. The technology has become more advanced and markedly safer, and yet remains feared due to the efforts of other organizations that would rather spread FUD than facts.

We're here to combat that FUD with the best possible weapon against it - knowledge.
