Abstract
The inspiration for a sourcebook on agri-biotechnology reporting originated at this workshop series. The idea was to collate the knowledge and wisdom gained from the workshops and put them into a handy reference book for science communicators and journalists. From the presentations of biotechnology scientists and communication specialists, experiences of journalists that were shared, and the writing exercises done at the workshops, we have distilled the practical advice and guidelines that are in this sourcebook for agri-biotechnology reporting. We are certain that the impact of this sourcebook will not end with the communicators alone. The media’s multiplier effect impacts the decision of policymakers, which in turn will lead to informed actions that will significantly improve the lives of poor farmers. This volume, Genes are Gems: Reporting Agri-Biotechnology, is our offering to science communicators who want to report on agribiotechnology. May your tribe increase!
