08 Sep 2011The outgoing president of the Queensland Farmers’ Federation says genetically modified organisms may have a big part to play in the state’s agricultural industry.
Speaking this week for the last time in his role as president of the federation after 10 years at the helm, Gary Sansom pointed to GMOs to secure the future of farming in Queensland.
Reflecting on his time as federation president, which was marked by drought and then last summer’s floods, Mr Sansom said GM crops may provide a “piece of the jigsaw” needed to help farmers better adapt to climate change.
