Does AGRA support breeding of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)?

0

AGRA uses conventional breeding to develop crop varieties. AGRA does not fund the development of GMOs. At the same time, AGRA recognizes the important role that science plays in addressing the complex challenges facing African farmers. We support science-based solutions and building the capacity of national research institutions and their scientists to develop the technologies needed to feed their people. We also support the development of responsible regulatory systems. African governments are responsible for decisions on GMOs. It is their role to assess the risks of such research and the food safety implications of these decisions. In all of its work, AGRA operates within established regulatory frameworks.
