Achieving the same results through biopharming--splicing antibodies into the genetic fabric of plants, growing them in fields and extracting and purifying them--could cut costs by half.

The opportunities, he points out, are not limited to human drugs. Arntzen foresees rich markets for plant-grown vaccines to protect fish and poultry against diseases now being treated--and in many cases overtreated--with conventional antibiotics...
...diarrhea incident rattled the industry. Some major players, among them Dow and Monsanto, are steering clear of the Farm Belt, preferring to grow their pharmacorn in isolated areas of Arizona, California and Washington State. Even so, the USDA--under pressure from Midwestern politicians who dream of biopharm Silicon Valleys in Iowa--has stopped short of restricting biopharming in major corn-growing states. Its new rules would step up inspections of biopharms and expand the buffer zone between genetically modified corn and food crops to a mile.
