Truth about GMO

Four week, I wrote a column on genetically modified maize with a heat stable version of the enzyme alpha amylase. Scientists behind this maize to say, it is used to generate renewable energy.

If They live in the developed world, you will think twice before they equate efforts to build castles in the air. Already, corn is widely used in the production of ethanol in the US

So this new maize will only complement current efforts to use genetically modified maize for renewable energy. Is not that a good news especially at a time when gas prices are at their all time high? More importantly, this is a clear expression of the potential of genetically modified crops to solve the world's food and energy problems.

Countries, especially in the Third World, must now integrate modern agricultural biotechnology into its agricultural policy. This is the only way they can the league of countries reap much from genetically modified crops.

Developing countries can no longer be mere spectators in the biotech game. You have to be increased efforts to assimilate into their biotechnology agriculture.

It 'support some countries are gravitating towards novel technologies such as agricultural biotechnology. The Swedish government, for example, last week announced a grant of $ 11 million to East African countries to develop their agriculture. The grant is headed by Prof. Esther Kahangi, a former lecturer at Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) .

The grant, including the objectives, activities and biotechnology decreasing dependence on non-renewable resources. This is a golden opportunity for the East African countries to explore the potential of agricultural biotechnology.

Prof. Kahangi, a pioneer in agricultural biotechnology in Kenya must share their knowledge and influence to convince other countries that modern biotechnology can play an integral role in the food and energy sustainability.

If the United States, efficient use of genetically modified maize for the Ethanol production, why can not Africa do the same?

Anti-biotech activists have the Africans to believe that genetically modified crops have no place in their lives.

Because they are accompanied by malice, they would not bother to tell such success stories of the use of transgenic corn for ethanol production.
