GM planting material: technology for the third world

See Yee Ai, . (2003) GM planting material: technology for the third world. [Proceedings Paper]

While recombinant DNA technology has given plant breeders a new powerful tool to create plant varieties that could solve many of the challenges in developing countries there are several technical and socio-economic constraints that need to be overcome in order to get the benefits of GM crops to poorer farmers who need the technology most. Many of these benefits have also been documented in studies carries out in developing countries. This paper also discusses some of the strategies adopted by the International Service for the Aquisition of Agribiotech Applications to ensure that GM technology transfer to developing countries are carried in an integrated approach.

Abstract

While recombinant DNA technology has given plant breeders a new powerful tool to create plant varieties that could solve many of the challenges in developing countries there are several technical and socio-economic constraints that need to be overcome in order to get the benefits of GM crops to poorer farmers who need the technology most. Many of these benefits have also been documented in studies carries out in developing countries. This paper also discusses some of the strategies adopted by the International Service for the Aquisition of Agribiotech Applications to ensure that GM technology transfer to developing countries are carried in an integrated approach.
