20 Year Anniversary of GMO Tomato
20 Year Anniversary of GMO Tomato – The Flavr Savr tomato first hit grocery stores in 1994. To the layman, it looked like any other produce fresh from the farm: plump and bulbous, with a rich, ruby hue. But it was hiding a secret. Thanks to a carefully crafted genetic modification of its seeds, the aptly-titled Flavr Savr was able to stay ripe much longer than regular tomatoes. Fast forward 20 years, and genetically modified organisms–usually referred to as GMOs, just like the Flavr Savr, are front and center in an ongoing debate about the future of agriculture.
