Mark Henderson

Mark Henderson is science editor of The Times. He is not a scientist.

He has written many pro-GM articles. For example, he is one of several journalists who have written about the periodically recurring 'crisis narrative' story to the effect that the banana will become extinct without GM:

• Mark Henderson, "Bananas 'will slip into extinction without GM'", The Times, 16 January 2003

The banana claim was countered by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, which issued a statement saying that small-scale farmers around the world grew a wide range of banana species not threatened by the disease that has attacked the Cavendish type sold mostly on the world's supermarket shelves.
