AgBiosafety is a partnership between the University of Nebraska and AgBios Inc. of Canada. It is a three year project dedicated to creating a source of scientific, regulatory, and educational materials on crop technology and the genetic modification of food. The AgBiosafety website features lesson plans for teachers, interactive teaching modules, documents on evaluating risk, and a comprehensive database of genetically modified foods. Other points of interest include; an interactive model demonstrating the recommended use of refuge in Bt corn and a corn borer population model.
