Information   Profile @ a Glance  

• Biopharming" is an experimental application of biotechnology in which plants are genetically engineered to produce pharmaceutical proteins or industrial chemicals that they would never produce naturally.

• The use of genetically transformed crop plants and livestock animals to produce valuable compounds, especially pharmaceuticals.

• Bio-pharm crops are regulated by two federal agencies (USDA and FDA) and by state departments of agriculture.

• Although biopharming is done largely in secret, with information withheld from the public and independent scientists, we do know that efforts have been made to have plants produce contraceptives, potent growth hormones, blood clotters, blood thinners, industrial enzymes and vaccines. 

• In most cases, corporations do not disclose the types of chemicals that are being developed and classify this information as 
  "confidential business information."

• In a few instances, the information has been disclosed. 

• Corn is by far the most popular 
  biopharm plant, followed by soybeans, tobacco and rice.

• Besides the standard regulations, bio-pharm crops are subject to additional regulatory oversight, which is evolving as the industry develops and the relevant issues become better understood.

• Some 400 biopharm products are reportedly in the pipeline, and over 300 open-air field trials have already been conducted in unidentified locations across the United States.

• Biopharm companies hope that growing drugs and chemicals in plants will be cheaper than conventional production methods through replacement of high-cost production facilities with the flexibility of low-cost contract farmers, which would mean higher profits.

• Disadvantages of biopharming for growers include health risks from inhalation of and contact with potent drugs and chemicals, intrusive on-site inspections by company managers and government regulators.
