VOICED : GM seeds an end to world hunger

The video discusses the potential of genetically modified (GM) soya and maize seeds to significantly increase crop yields in Ecuador, a country with high poverty levels. However, GM seeds are currently banned, and there is a debate over their use. While some researchers advocate for local GM research to benefit developing countries, others, including indigenous groups and organic farming advocates, oppose it due to concerns about biodiversity loss. Ecuador's President Rafael Correa, who initially banned GM seeds, now considers lifting the ban, facing opposition. The decision will ultimately be made by Ecuadorian voters.
