GM Crops and Food

Aims & Scope

GM Crops & Food - Biotechnology in Agriculture and the Food Chain aims to publish high quality research papers, reviews, and commentaries on a wide range of topics involving genetically modified (GM) crops in agriculture and genetically modified food.

The journal provides a platform for research papers addressing fundamental questions in the development, testing, and application of transgenic crops.

The journal further covers topics relating to socio-economic issues, commercialization, trade and societal issues.

GM Crops & Food aims to provide an international forum on all issues related to GM crops, especially toward meaningful communication between scientists and policy-makers.

GM Crops & Food will publish relevant and high-impact original research with a special focus on novelty-driven studies with the potential for application.

The journal also publishes authoritative review articles on current research and policy initiatives, and commentary on broad perspectives regarding genetically modified crops.

The journal serves a wide readership including scientists, breeders, and policy-makers, as well as a wider community of readers (educators, policy makers, scholars, science writers and students) interested in agriculture, medicine, biotechnology, investment, and technology transfer.
