Genetically Engineered Plants and Climate Change - Exploring Ethics

Published: Feb. 1, 2018, 9 p.m.

Plants have evolved the capability to convert atmospheric CO2 into biopolymers and therefore represent distributed systems for carbon removal that are highly scalable. Can we harness the power of plants today to help mitigate climate change? Wolfgang Busch, Ph.D., Associate Professor Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory, Salk Institute, explains the possibilities.
