for NSW farmers, biotech companies, grains group says"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Biotech\u00a0lobby group CropLife is hailing the lifting of a ban on genetically modified (GM) food\u00a0crops in New South Wales as a &#8220;great step forward&#8221;, but after 18 years in limbo the state&#8217;s agricultural sector has some catching up to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Around the world, the growth in GM crops is beginning to accelerate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Almost 200\u00a0million hectares of GM crops were planted in 2019\u00a0in 29 countries, according to\u00a0the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), a non profit group working to share biotechnology with developing countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">&#8220;Biotech crops are considered the fastest adopted crop technology in the history of modern agriculture,&#8221; it said in a 2019 report.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"_3fXyV _19G7j _2kQVP\" data-component=\"Pullquote\">\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Most of the corn, soybean, and cotton in the United States\u00a0is\u00a0GM and leads the world in the area sown to GM crops, followed by Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Ninety five per cent of the livestock in the US are eating GM feed\u00a0and US consumers are eating GM food every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">But in Australia, just three genetically modified crops are\u00a0being grown under strict regulation by the\u00a0Office of the Gene Technology Regulator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Almost all of the Australian cotton crop is GM, but only 20 per cent of the national canola crop has been switched over, while GM safflower production is just beginning to gear up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">The question is\u00a0how quickly will the switch to GM be, now that the last major hurdle for GM technology has been removed?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"_2O2Ne _2El7j _3XvRm _3qPMD _2rdcP _2Od9e _582YK _2eB4R _3Z8IO\" data-component=\"Heading\">Benefits are significant for farmers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Mathew Cossy from the biotech lobby group CropLife Australia is very excited by the removal of the ban.&#8221;It&#8217;s a great step forward for Australian farmers to access all the benefits of modern innovation&#8230;it will help them become more environmentally stable and more productive and competitive,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"_3fXyV _19G7j _2kQVP\" data-component=\"Pullquote\">\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Scott Hansen, the director general of the NSW Department of Primary Industry, said those countries that have embraced GM technology have cut costs by about 35 per cent because the crops require less land, water, and pesticides to grow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">He said now NSW has joined the rest of mainland Australia in lifting the ban, the agriculture sector should start fast-tracking breeding programs. &#8220;That makes it much more attractive for companies to invest in the research and development required to bring new crops to market,&#8221; Mr Hansen said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"_3fXyV _19G7j _2kQVP\" data-component=\"Pullquote\"><\/aside>\n<h2 class=\"_2O2Ne _2El7j _3XvRm _3qPMD _2rdcP _2Od9e _582YK _2eB4R _3Z8IO\" data-component=\"Heading\">Safflower production blooming<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">It is only a niche crop, but safflower production will increase dramatically over the next few years, from 3,000h last season\u00a0to and estimated\u00a045,000h in three years time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Go Resources\u00a0holds the exclusive worldwide rights to the super high oleic technology developed by the CSIRO to produce biodegradable oil from safflower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">The oil is renewable and biodegradable and is being turned\u00a0into\u00a0lubricants and greases for agriculture and other industrial markets, particularly in India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Growing safflower is also useful for farmers because it tolerates salinity and grows in\u00a0places that other crops struggle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Go Resources is hoping to raise $10 million\u00a0to fund the expansion of safflower production in Australia.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"_2O2Ne _2El7j _3XvRm _3qPMD _2rdcP _2Od9e _582YK _2eB4R _3Z8IO\" data-component=\"Heading\">Europe still &#8216;paranoid&#8217;\u00a0about GM<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">James Jackson, president of the NSW Farmers Association, acknowledged there\u00a0had been a divisive debate over genetically modified crops in that state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">He welcomed the lifting of the ban however, as the farm sector has had plenty of experience with GM crops over the last 18 years and he believes the necessary checks and balances are in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">&#8220;As long as there is a strong, independent regulator to make sure these genes are not going to get out of hand or cause inadvertent health effects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">He also wants organic farmers to be protected because contamination with genetically modified material can compromise their markets and even their hard won organic certification. &#8220;It think we&#8217;ve got better buffer arrangements than we had 18 years ago [and] there are also better genomic tools to make sure those genes are contained,&#8221; Mr Jackson said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"_3fXyV _19G7j _2kQVP\" data-component=\"Pullquote\"><\/aside>\n<h2 class=\"_2O2Ne _2El7j _3XvRm _3qPMD _2rdcP _2Od9e _582YK _2eB4R _3Z8IO\" data-component=\"Heading\">Markets still sensitive to GM<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Scott Hansen said there are significant barriers to getting GM crops into Europe, but Australia has proven that it can segregate GM and non-GM food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">&#8220;The one thing the industry has been able to demonstrate over the last 17 years is our\u00a0capacity to &#8230;segregate and provide integrity in the supply chain, so that the customer who still requires GM free is able to source that\u00a0 while at the same time freeing up the industry to capitalise the benefits of using the technology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">James Jackson believes farmers are increasingly comfortable with GM technology, but there are also many challenges for the GM sector, especially in markets that do not like GM food. &#8220;We&#8217;ve just got to work out a way through it, be respectful, list the opportunities but not torch our markets. Europe is paranoid about these things,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"_3fXyV _19G7j _2kQVP\" data-component=\"Pullquote\"><\/aside>\n<h2 class=\"_2O2Ne _2El7j _3XvRm _3qPMD _2rdcP _2Od9e _582YK _2eB4R _3Z8IO\" data-component=\"Heading\">No rush to plant GM crops<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Grain grower Chris Groves agrees there are some clear benefits for farmers but he does not think there will be a rush to take up GM crops like canola unless there is a specific need.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">&#8220;If you&#8217;ve got a canola crop where you can&#8217;t kill the wild radish or there&#8217;s something you can&#8217;t get rid of, the genetically modified just fits into that system,&#8221; Mr Groves said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">And while the spread of GM crops is accelerating, there are many countries that still do not have access to the technology or have chosen not to use it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1HzXw\">Only 13.5 per cent of the world&#8217;s cotton crop was GM in 2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"W-g-R _14nkQ _3BwtN _2eB4R _3qdyT NxB15\" data-component=\"InfoSource\"><em>Source: ABC Rural<\/em><\/div>\n<p><em><span class=\"W-g-R _14nkQ _3BwtN _2eB4R _3qdyT\" data-component=\"Text\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> \/ <\/span><span class=\"W-g-R _3XvRm _3BwtN _2eB4R _3qdyT _7kwJ9\" data-component=\"Byline\"><span class=\"W-g-R _14nkQ _3BwtN _2eB4R _3qdyT\" data-component=\"Text\">By David Claughton, Lara Webster, and Hugh Hogan<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biotech\u00a0lobby group CropLife is hailing the lifting of a ban on genetically modified (GM) food\u00a0crops in New South Wales as a &#8220;great step forward&#8221;, but after 18 years in limbo the state&#8217;s agricultural sector has some catching up to do.
