Wouldn’t it be nice if we could grow tree fruit that is inherently resistant to pests and disease? With biotechnology this can be a reality, as we explain here. What’s more, there are many reasons why apples produced conventionally, organically and through biotechnology can coexist, as we explain here.
Like any other food enhanced through biotechnology, Arctic™ Apples are certainly no overnight success story. Even after successfully determining how to create these nonbrowning apples and observing test orchards for years, they must be approved by government regulatory bodies in the countries we wish to market them. For information on how foods produced through biotechnology get to market, see here for the process in the U.S.
Biotechnology is, of course, a very complicated subject that necessitates a strong scientific background to fully understand. That said, the science behind Arctic™ Apples is simple compared to most products that are enhanced through biotechnology.
