GMOs in African agriculture August 13, 2009
Posted by Nthabiseng in : Health Studies, Projects , trackbackGenetically modified organisms (GMOs) are said to be opening a door of opportunity for ensuring food security, especially in South Africa and other African countries. On the other hand, skeptics claim that there are numerous challenges and risks associated with the adoption of GMOs. It is against this background that the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), in collaboration with the German Union of Science Academies and National African Science Academies (NASAC) are holding a workshop that will address key issues on GMOs in African agriculture.
The workshop will be held in Pretoria on 17 – 18 September 2009. It will be attended mainly by experts from South Africa and other African countries.
