starring role in the shaping of modern life. Featuring

Title: Britain's Labs
Description: Five-part series in which Professor Iain Stewart visits
Britain's leading laboratories. 3: Rothamsted Research is
the oldest agricultural research centre in the world. It has
planted wheat experiments that have been running since the
1840s. But these days, amid worries over food security,
scientists are being asked to redouble their efforts to make
crops more productive and cheaper, and more sustainable to
grow. Their approach is often genetic - looking to use
genetic investigation into plants to identify ways in which
their cropping or resistance to pests can be enhanced. This
use of GM as a 'tool' in experiment has been very
successful. But the use of genetically modified crops is
currently banned in Britain
