The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that genetically modified wheat developed by Argentina's Bioceres Crop Solutions may be safely grown and bred in the United States. However, the U.S. Wheat Associates, an industry group, emphasizes that additional steps, including field trials, are necessary before the wheat can be commercialized. This development marks a significant step in the potential adoption of genetically modified wheat in the U.S. agricultural sector.
