520 | _aEmpirical evidence from research on Bt maize in Kenya puts to rest most concerns raised against GMOs, most importantly that the technology would not respond to the needs of poor farmers, but would be expensive and benefit only agro-business, and that it might decrease biodiversity. However, research results indicate that contamination of local varieties is likely through farmers’ seed selection practices and dissemination. Moreover, possible buildup of insect resistance requires careful monitoring and evaluation after release. | ||
