Global: Who should decide on GM crops?
13.10.2005
Opinions on genetically modified crops are very much polarised, so who makes decisions on their adoption? The level of stakeholder consultation by governments varies between countries, and civil society groups may only have limited lobbying access. This Panos report on GM decision-making takes a look at the issue of genetically modified crops in five developing countries, examines the influence NGOs and the media, and argues for full public participation in the GM debate.
