Recipient of the World Food Prize in 2004 for his success in creating the New Rice for Africa (NERICA), Sierra Leonean scientist Monty Jones spoke to The Africa Report about the role of science in agricultural development.
The Africa Report: NERICA is not a genetically-modified (GM) crop, but is it necessary to have GM as an option in Africa?
Monty Jones: I do not believe that you should see people dying of hunger for a problem that could be solved if you go through genetic engineering...
