“We need technology, especially biotechnology,” stated Dr. Hong Guang Wang, director general of the National Center for Biotechnology Development, Ministry of Science and Technology for the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

He addressed the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) board of directors at a China-U.S. Applied Biotechnology Forum held Aug. 10-11 in Beijing.

Food is a critical issue for one of the world’s most populous nations. Wang said imports of U.S. corn and soybeans will be needed.

“The United States is the largest producer in the world, so I think we need to work more and more closely together,” stated one of the government’s most influential scientific leaders.

Wang predicted that biotechnology in agriculture will bring a “Green Revolution” over the next 20 to 30 years, one “more powerful than the first revolution.”
“This meeting is quite important to us,” he stated.

Iowa Farm Bureau President Craig Lang succinctly stated the viewpoint of U.S. farmers on biotechnology.
