Fellow Farmers! It's time to embrace the future with #BiotechCrops! Here’s how they benefit you: ✅Disease and drought-resistant plants that use fewer resources. ✅Increased food supply at lower costs with longer shelf life #TalkBiotechRw #Voices4AgriBiotech

It's time to evaluate the facts! Let's talk science, Technology, and innovation ! The truth is, #BiotechCrops offer real solutions: disease resistance, increased yields, and better income. Join the movement to separate fact from fiction and celebrate the impact of science.
