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 concern over dependency on multinational firms. President Rafael Correa, who initially introduced the ban, now considers revoking it, facing opposition from indigenous groups and organic farming advocates. These groups fear biodiversity loss and advocate for organic farming as the future of agriculture. The decision ultimately lies with Ecuadorian voters.
