CropGen's mission is to make the case for GM crops and foods by helping to achieve a greater measure of realism and better balance in the UK's public discussions on agriculture and food. They believe that crop biotechnology offers manypotential benefits which they believe can be overlooked or deliberately obscured in public debates. To combat this, CropGen participates in radio and TV interviews and presentations, briefs journalists, writes articles and letters, also offering speakers for private and public debates and meetings.
