The frequently dreaded three letter initial, 'GMO' has been doing rounds since the government opted to allow importation and cultivation of crops derived from this technology in the country.
Does the unease surrounding this technology stem from rational doubts about their safety or is it just much ado about nothing? To many, the concept of genetic engineering by which GMOs are derived is a mystery, resulting in the inability to confidently embrace the technology.
