Jatko-osa edelliseen:

Viewpoint: Part II — Anti-GMO arguments rest entirely on botched studies

Siitä nosto, tämä huomio (lihav. HJ):

Quote
Not a single person in the world has been ill or died as a result of consuming GMO derived food. Annually hundreds of millions of animals are fed with GMO derived feed and there has not been a single documented case of adverse effects as a result of consuming GM feed. And the Europeans who are against GM cultivation are among the top ranked importers of GM food and feed in world.

Kuten toisaalta jo tiedämme, Gates  on (vastoin hänestä ja hänen säätiöstään levitettyjä huhuja) pikemminkin ollut vähän nihkeä ja/tai innoton geenitekniikan suhteen. Mutta nyt hän on tukenut tätä projektia:

Vaikka rohkaiseviakin uutisia välillä tulee, tämä on tilanne:

Only 11 of 54 African countries grow genetically engineered crops. This study explains why and offers guidance on how to increase acceptance

Quote
Adoption of GM crops has been extremely slow in African countries; only eleven of the fifty-four have current approved their cultivation.



An intricate narrative surrounding the acceptance of GM crops in Africa has been shaped by worries about the ecosystem, unforeseen outcomes, and moral implications. A sophisticated grasp of socioeconomic dynamics, open communication, and flexible regulatory frameworks are necessary to navigate this evolution. The adoption of GM crops in Africa has followed a trajectory that strikes a balance between the benefits and drawbacks, mirroring the larger global conversation about using biotechnology to promote fair and sustainable farming methods.

No, vielä tällä hetkellä tilanne EU:ssa liene sen parempi:

Siinä on ero, että EU saattaa pärjätä ilmankin. Afrikka luultavasti ei.
