Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been manipulated using genetic engineering techniques in the laboratory, resulting in organisms that do not occur naturally. DNA, which determines the characteristics of a plant or organism, is manipulated to produce GMOs with desired qualities. This involves inserting a new combination of DNA into plant [...] The post Do We Really Need GMOs to Feed the World? appeared first on Explore Biotech.| Explore Biotech

A few weeks ago, Rachel Schurman and I published The Complex Choreography of Agricultural Biotechnologies in Africa in the journal African Affairs. In the article, we surveyed nearly 30 years of strategic and well-funded efforts by donors to bring GMOs to Africa. These efforts, we contend, have so far yielded very little. How come? We argue that […]| Joeva Sean Rock
