GM crops to boost Malaysia’s food security

Rapid population growth, climate change, escalating food prices, diminishing agricultural land and water resources pose a serious setback in increasing food output to feed the world’s fast growing population. Hence, scientists have to seek better solutions for farmers for increasing productivity on smaller tracts of land using less water, energy, fertilisers and pesticides. Local researchers, like their counterparts in the developed world, believe that Genetic Modification Technology could well be the holy grail for enhancing the country’s food output in the future. [...] In a nutshell, GM crops could well be the answer for feeding mankind in the future and Malaysia is well aware of the GM crops’ vast potential in achieving its food security target.
