Economic Issues & Considerations
a. Modern biotechnology has been hailed as a miracle to solve problems such as world hunger, health and environmental degradation, particularly by biotechnology companies, some scientists and governments. But, one needs to examine the socio-economic and political context in which the technology has been developed. To do this we need to ask questions such as: What was the purpose of developing the technology? Who controls the technology? How much does it cost? What is the trend of GMOs being developed and for whose benefit?
