The Council for Biotechnology Information is a small coalition of six major agricultural biotechnology companies based in the District of Columbia, focused on informing North American audiences about the benefits of modern agricultural biotechnology. It seeks to achieve this through research-based analysis and credible voices to convey its messaging. Its GMO Answers initiative, launched in July 2013, provides a direct channel for consumers to receive answers from a community of qualified experts about GMOs, agriculture, and how foods are grown. The organization operates within the biotechnology research sector and aims to make information about GMOs in food and farming more accessible. In 2018, GMO Answers released a YouGov survey showing that a majority of Americans do not feel confident they know what GMOs are, underscoring ongoing questions around the topic.
