چکیده
Why is Europe so critical of GMO crops? As long as it is cheaper to import food than to produce it locally, Western European countries have no need for GMO crops. Where it does matter is Africa. In my scientific opinion, GMO food is safe to eat, GMO crops can increase yield and, when used wisely, are good for the environment. Unfortunately, scientists are helpless in the emotional and politically charged debate. I sincerely hope that one day Greenpeace will conclude that GMOs are not just evil but might, just might, help save the lives of starving children. Greenpeace has great powers of persuasion, and with power comes responsibility.
