Farmers First: Feedback from the Farm
October 2, 2013| |
ISAAA releases the latest addition to the Biotech Communication Series titled Farmers First: Feedback from the Farm. It is a collection of farmers' testimonies from China, India, and the Philippines, about how they started adopting biotech crops, how they benefited from the technology, and why they continue planting biotech crops. Farmers are considered as the primary beneficiaries of crop biotechnology, and thus, their testimonies are highly valuable in the process of creating awareness and acceptance towards the technology.
