CHAPARRO-GIRALDO, Alejandro
- Abstract
Here in Colombia have been reported efforts on the development of genetically modified (GM) crops, like: rice, cassava, cotton, potato, sugar cane, coffee, corn, soy, stevia and chrysanthemum, by five research center (CIAT, CENICAÑA, CENICAFE, CIB, CORPOICA) and three universities (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Universidad Javeriana, Universidad de Antioquia). To get to the commercial release of GM varieties, real public policies on science and technology are needed, giving sufficient and timely funding, as well as to solve problems with the tangle of patents that limit or prevent the development of biotechnological innovations, and it is also required suffice funding to go through the regulatory issues, which significantly increase the cost of those developments.
