Pros

Interesting and important work in agricultural biotechnology: opportunity to create crops with improved characteristics that can feed more people using less land, less water, and less-toxic chemicals.

Cons

British management has no vision or will to make biotechnology work. Unnecessary bureaucracy. Nobody listens to the scientists.
