Farmer’s diary: The biotech debate and our challenges

You could have read Nassib Mugwanya’s article, Are GMOs really the threat? in Seeds of Gold last week. Since Uganda is debating the law on biotechnology and bio-safety, GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and food production is topical especially in agricultural circles.

The debate may not attract as much public attention as the Marriage and Divorce Bill but it has a bearing on food security for our growing population and our future. It also has a bearing on our household incomes as a farming country.
