Speaking at a recent public debate at Makerere University’s school of Food Technology, Nutrition, and Bio-engineering in Uganda, British environmentalist and author Mark Lynas asked activists for and against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to peacefully coexist.

The debate on GMOs has pitted scientists and activists supportive of the biotech bill against critics, who say that GMOs are not the solution to hunger and therefore should not be allowed into Uganda. Lynas, however, believes that the two groups can peacefully coexist without anyone forcing GMO seeds onto farmers who don’t want to plant them.
