  • Title: Biosafety legislation and biotechnology development gains momentum in Africa.
    Author: Wafula D, Waithaka M, Komen J, Karembu M.
    Journal: GM Crops Food; 2012; 3(1):72-7. PubMed ID: 22430854.
    Abstract:
    Opinion in Africa over the use of genetically modified crops for food has been divided, honed by more than a decade of arguments in Europe and elsewhere. Fortunately, the perceived image of a passive Africa in this game is changing rapidly with clear positions on how to harness modern biotechnology. This article examines the status of biosafety regulation across Africa, pertinent challenges and the extent to which regulation fosters or constrains the development of agricultural biotechnology.
