Former Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer, who served two terms as North Dakota’s governor, is featured in the latest podcast from ClimateAi. Regarding the issue of food security, Schafer emphasized the importance of biotech crops. “The European Union oppresses African countries by saying if you want to grow crops and move them into the European Union they must be GMO-free,” said Schafer. “That’s great for the Europeans if that what they want to do, but the African countries need GMO crops to operate.” Schafer said emotion should be removed from the GMO discussion and replaced with a focus on science.
