[QUOTE="Cheesehead, post: 7067855, member: 12876"] Other countries have in Africa they have used their own scientists to develop a disease resistant Cassava plant where a disease is wiping a lot of it out using gm techniques. It is a crop that in a lot of cases is grown by subsistence farmers which the governments planned to hand out or distribute at the same cost as conventionally grown, it isn't a crop that is sold outside of Africa but due due to pressure from EU who was pressured by those who don't have to worry about starving to scrapping stating that they would have to reconsider buying the cash crops they do if they plant it the same has been seen with golden rice in Asia.
