What are the reasons for their success (or failure) in developing countries? What emerging challenges can be addressed through their application? What options do individual developing countries and the international community have for enabling developing countries to make informed decisions on the implementation of appropriate biotechnologies to enhance food security? This document tries to address these critical questions.
