title: Food and agricultural biotechnology: economic implications.
abstract: The economic issues and implications associated with products emerging from food and agricultural biotechnology in the next decade are considered. Consumers are likely to be primary beneficiaries, but many have significant misgivings and little information about new food products from biotechnology. Clinical nutritionists have a significant role to play in benefit-risk analysis and public information programs.
