ISAAA Video on Issues and Challenges in Crop Biotech
February 3, 2016| |
ISAAA releases the Issues and Challenges in Crop Biotech video, a collection of views and personal experiences of eminent scientists, regulators and communicators from 11 countries, in dealing with various issues and challenges in the adoption and acceptance of biotechnology and biotech crops. These include the lack of understanding by policy makers, problems with public acceptance, and the critics that undermine the benefits of the technology. Some recommendations to overcome the challenges were also suggested.
