GE crops holds seeds of hope for Africa
there are new technologies on the horizon that can help farmers lessen the impact of drought. Through biotechnology, researchers at Monsanto are developing a drought-tolerant corn to reduce lost yields caused by drought. [...] The technology has been submitted for regulatory review in the United States and we expect it to be a valuable tool in the Western corn belt in a few years. But as with the latest medications, it is inconceivable that African farmers should have to wait longer for the technology.
