11 Jul 2011Former UP President Emil Q. Javier is telling the public not to believe detractors who advocate that crops produced through biotechnology interventions are harmful to human health.
Javier, who is now president of the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), reasoned that “in the last 15 years, no instance proved that a person was poisoned by Bbotechnology crops.”
He said the country needs biotech crops or products enhanced through Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) otherwise, “we will lose competitiveness.”
