Dynamics of Climate Change and Genetically Modified Crops and Implications on Food Security in Kenya

The purpose of this article is to examine the dynamics of climate change and genetically modified crops and implications on food security in Kenya, with special references to Embu County, with the view of interrogating issues of perception, awareness, and knowledge in the local community.

One of the most promising solutions for increasing crop yields in the face of climate change is through biotechnological research on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). However, in Kenya, the adoption of GMOs has been slow, likely due to differing perspectives on their benefits and drawbacks, as well as concerns regarding their safety for consumption.
