- AgBioWorld
AgBioWorld is devoted to bringing information about technological advances in agriculture to the developing world. Our members include scientists, physicians, professors and others who believe that recent developments in plant science, such as biotechnology, can and should be used to increase crop yields, grow more nutritious plants and reduce dependence on chemicals in order to alleviate hunger and to help preserve the environment. Many of them communicate on a daily basis through the AgBioView E-mail Newsletter. - Biotechnology Iowa State University
Resources for education, bioethics, technology transfer, and research - Council for Biotechnology Information

The Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology has been established to be an independent and objective source of credible information on agricultural biotechnology for the public, media and policymakers. Funded through a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts to the University of Richmond, the Initiative advocates neither for, nor against, agricultural biotechnology. Instead, the Initiative is committed to providing information and encouraging debate and dialogue so that consumers and policymakers can make their own informed decisions. - Phytoremediation by the Missouri Botanical Garden
