Comment Policy
Biofortified is a blog, and we encourage discussion in the comments section below each post. Comments that are civil are most likely to foster meaningful discussion, so we ask you to refrain from being unnecessarily rude when commenting, no matter whether you agree or disagree with the authors. The only comments that will be moderated in this fashion are those that include profanities, threaten others, are illegal, or engage in trolling.
As an open forum, we welcome the opinions of readers, but comment authors are ultimately responsible for the content of their own contributions.
Quoting other articles can be very useful to get a point across, and is encouraged. Sometimes, however, people feel the need to quote entire articles in the comments section. In the interest of preventing clutter, we ask that comment authors link to those articles, otherwise we may need to remove the cut-and-pasted articles. Comments are for posting your thoughts, not pasting others!
Disclaimer:
None of the opinions expressed on this website necessarily reflect the opinions of the institutions or companies (as the case may be) that the blog authors work for. Our opinions are ours alone.
Biofortified is independently run on a volunteer basis, and is not supported by any funding from any companies. While site hosting costs were initially footed by the founding members, these costs are now covered by a Changemakers grant awarded to Biofortified for winning the Ashoka Changemakers GMO Risk or Rescue contest.
