Government ministers will back renewed efforts by farmers and industry to grow gm crops in the UK.
70% of the European public in recent polls remain opposed to GM foods.
The argument being put forward is you need drought-resistant crops.
Earlier this year BASF began trials of a blight-resistant potato(blight was the fungus that destroyed Ireland's potato crop and caused the 1840's famine).
The NFU has been lobbying ministers and believes it is time for the introduction of GM crops.
