Developing Countries
One question which has always been present in the debate over GM crops and foods, has been whether they could form an important way to address malnutrition, by increasing productivity, or will have the opposite effect through adverse effects and corporate control. GeneWatch believes that the current generation of GM crops and the context of corporate control make promises of 'feeding the world' unlikely. GeneWatch works to help allow developing countries and their citizens make genuine choices about whether or not and under what conditions they use GM crops.
