Nutrition security through modern crop improvement

Genetically-modified crops can help the Philippines meet its nutritional requirements, said visiting nutritionist Dr. Milton Stokes, Director of Monsanto's Global Health and Nutrition Outreach during a media briefing on "Nutrition Security Through Modern Crop Improvement" at Sulo Riviera Hotel in Quezon City on Tuesday (March 7, 2017). He said more than 75 different studies were conducted to demonstrate each new GMO and at least 90 government bodies that reviewed and approved the products. (PNA photos by Ben Briones) JMC/bvb
