Acres USA is a eco-sustainable newspaper/magazine that promotes organic, sustainable, ecological farming, gardening, and health. When money was not so tight I use to get their publication and learned a lot from the articles. They have a few sample articles for free on their website and this is where I got this particular one. Here is their website: http://www.acresusa.com/magazines/magazine.htm
Here is a link to the pdf form of the article since I am unable to properly copy and paste the article here.

A little bit about the interviewee Mae-Wan Ho.
Mae-Wan Ho obtained her B.S. degree in biology in 1964 and her Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1967 from Hong Kong University. She was a postdoctoral fellow in biochemical genetics from 1968 to 1972 at the University of California in San Diego, during which time she won a competitive fellowship of the U.S. National GeneticsFoundation. She then became a senior research fellow in Queen Elizabeth College inthe United Kingdom, and after that a lecturer in genetics and a reader in biology in the London Open University. In 1999, Ho founded the London-based ISIS — the Institute of Science in Society — to promote her views and those of like-minded scientists. Dr. Ho retired in June 2000 and remains a visiting reader in biology at the Open University and a visiting biophysics professor in Catania University, Sicily. Today, she has close to 300 publications,including 47 experimental works. Dr. Ho has been one of the most influential figures of the last decade in the debate within the scientific community regarding the use of genetically modified organisms. She is a highly consulted scientific figure with many theories relating to her powerful anti-GM stance. She is also a well-known critic of neo-Darwinism and reductionist thought in biology and physics.
The Institute of Science in Society has a website with loads of information to read on various topics. Here is the link: http://www.i-sis.org.uk/index.php.
I found the article very interesting and she explains things about GMO's and the difference between them and conventional plant breeding techniques. The interview was conducted in 2004 but the information is still relevant today. It is too bad I did not know about her work years ago when I first got out of college. :) Enjoy the article.
Love and light
