1 day ago · It’s common to hear that major food consumers worldwide, like India, as well as many European countries, do not accept genetically modified agricultural products. But Mozambique prefers to advance in genetic manipulation, at least for corn, to produce a seed resistant to diseases and pests, as well as drought, which is increasingly common due ...
Apr 2, 2024 · Abstract. Genetically modified (GM) and gene-edited (GE) food crops have emerged as transformative technologies in agriculture, offering potential solutions to address global food security challenges. This chapter overviews the current status and future prospects of genetically modified and gene-edited food crops, highlighting their existing ...
Apr 18, 2024 · So far, genetically modified corn is estimated to have a yield of one and a half tons per hectare, compared to the national average of 800 kilograms to one ton per hectare. The same research being conducted in Mozambique is taking place in South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria.
3 days ago · About 90% of the corn grown in the US was genetically modified in 2010. In the US in 2015, 81% of corn acreage contained the Bt trait and 89% of corn acreage contained the glyphosate-tolerant trait. [60]
1 day ago · Apr 25, 2024 Common Dreams. The three-member trade panel hearing the U.S. complaint over Mexico’s restrictions on the use of genetically modified corn in tortillas will no doubt need some scientific advice to evaluate the technical evidence presented by the Mexican government on the risks associated with GM corn and their accompanying ...
Apr 19, 2024 · Source: Clubofmozambique. Mozambique is exploring the adoption of genetically modified (GM) corn to address the challenges of low yields due to pests, diseases, and drought, exacerbated by climate change. Over 16 years of research by the Mozambique Agricultural Research Institute (IIAM) supports the move towards GM seeds resistant to these issues.
Apr 16, 2024 · Genetically modified crops are genetically modified plants that are used in agriculture. The first crops developed were used for animal or human food and provide resistance to certain pests, diseases, environmental conditions, spoilage or chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide ).
