Kenya's Environment Court Dismisses Case Challenging Importation and Cultivation of GM Crops |
|
|
|
On October 12, 2023, the Environment Court in Kenya dismissed the case challenging the importation and cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops, saying the government had taken appropriate measures to regulate their use in the country. The ruling hands Kenyan farmers a landmark victory as they are now a step closer to cultivating approved climate-resilient Bt maize seeds and disease-resistant cassava in a bid to arrest the country's food insecurity and improve their livelihoods through agriculture.
