In a bid to address the growing food insecurity issues in Kenya, religious leaders have urged for greater sensitization on genetically modified (GM) crops. The call for public education comes at a time when the country is set to begin cultivating and importing GM crops in early 2024, following the lifting of the ban on such crops earlier this year.
The religious leaders, under the umbrella of the Association of Pentecostal and Evangelical Clergy of Kenya (APECK), met with experts from the Kenya University Biotechnology Consortium (KUBICO) to discuss the importance of GM crops in tackling food insecurity.
