Development, 2014, vol. 57, issue 2, 192-200

Abstract: Increasingly, genetically engineered (GE) crops are promoted as a ‘twenty-first century’ agricultural strategy. From trade negotiations of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership to international climate negotiations, GE crops are endorsed as a major solution to hunger and malnutrition, as well as for climate change mitigation and adaptation. This article addresses some of the central concerns that many have about GE crops, and proposes more promising, immediate alternatives.
