02 Sep 2019 --- As challenges in food production loom, a third of UK adults believe an increase in insect consumption is likely, while nearly three quarters support an increased emphasis on new technology and innovation. This is according to a YouGov survey of over 2,000 people, commissioned by the Agricultural Biotechnology Council (abc). The group is now calling for the UK government to use Brexit as an opportunity to use technology such as gene editing and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are currently heavily restricted under EU law.
