Agency rolls out GMO crops’ trials across the country after court nod
The Cabinet lifted the ban on GMOs in October 2022. While lifting the ban, the government said the move would address the high cost of food in the country.
The National Biosafety Authority (NBA) has approved several genetically modified organisms (GMOs) crops for confined field trials across the country, taking Kenya a step closer to commercial production of GMO foods.
A field trial is a process through which crops are grown in a controlled environment, to study their performance before they are approved for commercial cultivation.
