ISAAA Video on “Knowledge, Technology and Alleviation of Poverty”

This video produced by the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) South Asia Office presents the major findings of the Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops in 2008 and addresses the growing interest biotech crops have experienced in the past years, including substantial advances in Africa. The video discusses in detail the three questions global society has begun to ask about biotech crops. First, can they contribute to more affordable food? Second, can they help mitigate climate change and contribute to sustainability? And finally, can they contribute to global food security and the alleviation of poverty?
