Description

Provide a clear outline of the current debates around GMO agriculture, examining the arguments for and against the technology. This should include a discussion of the risks and benefits associated with environmental, health, economic, and social factors. After considering both sides of the debate, “pick a side” and then provide a recommendation on whether it makes sense for African states to invest in GMO agriculture. Your recommendations may consider the role of local actors (e.g. government agencies, businesses, small-holder farmers) and international actors (e.g. multinational corporations, NGOs, research institutes).
