AIKS Opposes Gene-Edited Crop Introduction; Cites Concerns

Imagine scientists change the genes of crops, like rice.

A group called AIKS doesn't like this.

They wrote a letter saying they're worried because farmers weren't asked about it.

They remember how a crop called Bt cotton had problems in the past, causing farmers to lose money.

They want companies to be responsible if these new crops cause harm, and they want farmers to have more control instead of relying on big companies' new technologies.

They want the government to listen and protect farmers.
