Internationally renowned Australian immunologist Sir Gustav Nossal recently argued that the risks posed by GM crops are no greater than those posed by conventional crops, although they are much more thoroughly assessed. He concluded that ”A hungry world needs such research”. GM crops are not a panacea to solving world hunger - poverty and starvation are issues rooted in socio-political problems, but if there is insufficient food produced then even a perfect food distribution system will not help.
