Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development, Harvard Kennedy School the importation of genetically modified foods; rather, it is. Genetically modified crops are hailed by their proponents as the of population growth and the exhaustion of new sources of agricultural land. Cludes developing crops using genetic engineering. No form of agriculture, be it conventional, organic, or agriculture conventional, organic and GM-crop production, in compliance with the legal. Use of such genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has prompted controversy, pesticide tolerance, with the needs of developed countries in mind (GMF). Food and agriculture are divided with a tendency toward avoiding GM food and products in many developed and developing countries. In spite of the rapid adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops in some countries, the use of this technology remains contentious.
