GM crops thoroughly vetted

I REFER to the recent letters on genetically modified organisms (GMOs): “Let science speak for GM products” (The Star, Nov 6) and “Still wary about GM products” (The Star, Nov 23).

We need to understand farmers’ plight to ensure seven billion people have enough food to eat. Just like us, the farmers also need technologies to do their job effectively. Farmers are entrepreneurs who embrace technologies that are beneficial to them, regardless whether it is from the private or public sector.
