Are GM crops appropriate for developing countries?
In countries where there is often not enough food to go around and where food prices directly affect the incomes of majority of the population, the potential benefits of GM crops cannot be ignored. Studies in developed countries have shown that farmers apply fewer pesticides with lower production costs and less time in the fields for some GM crops. In addition, nutritionally enhanced foods could play a key role in helping to alleviate malnutrition in developing countries.
