Regarding the topic of implementation of legal framework, some
respondents mentioned:
should detail how the "successful" countries overcame
the fears around the technology that seemed universal previously;
how to find innovative
ways by which the trust on GMs can be built (for example:
transmitting useful information in simple layman´s language to
national champions of biotech which in turn can transmit it to their
own public space like media, seminars, meeting with framers, etc);
training to the
trainers (scientist and farmers) for sensitization of general public
on GM products and biosafety.
