US-based biotech giant Monsanto Indonesia plans to help boost Indonesia's corn production by more than half in two years by introducing its genetically modified corn seeds.
Your comments:
The negative features of use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are: loss of crop genetic diversity; economic loss of evaluated biodiversity and crop genetic diversity; threat to use of generic medicinal products, inadequate compensation costs, alteration in nutritional quality of foods; prevalence of religious, cultural, ethical issues (i.e. with vaccines and single-cell protein (SCP); and concerns of monopolistic ownership of the 15 major food and non-food crops.
