Why Kenya is turning to genetically modified crops – BBC News
Food security is one of the pressing issues on the agenda at the COP27 summit in Egypt, as developing countries have to find ways to adapt to the effects of climate change on agriculture.
In Kenya, the government prepares to commercialise genetically modified maize seeds early next year. But there is resistance from some farmers and campaign groups, who question their safety.
The seeds will be planted on half-a-million acres and will be drought resistant, the country’s agricultural authority says, thus helping curb shortages caused by the lack of rain.
Kenya is currently facing a severe water shortage caused by four failed consecutive rainy seasons, amid one of the harshest droughts the East African region has seen in four decades. This means crops are not able to grow, prompting warnings of potential famine.

AI Decoded speaks to leading tech podcaster Scott Galloway about the growing controversy surrounding Anthropic’s latest AI model, Claude Mythos.
During testing, the system uncovered thousands of hidden vulnerabilities in the software underpinning most of the world’s computers — prompting Anthropic to decide it was too dangerous to release.
The company says Mythos can outperform humans at certain hacking and cyber‑security tasks, raising fresh concerns among regulators, lawmakers and financial institutions about the risks to global digital infrastructure.
Also on the show, we reveal how US students are changing their majors at university in order to ‘AI proof’ their future careers and how nearly half of Gen Z would like to turn back the clock to the late 90’s before AI was even a thing.
Joining Christian Fraser is the BBC’s AI correspondent Marc Cieslak and AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani.

South Koreas Lantern Festival has won the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage status.
It’s an annual festival that dates back centuries and it marks the birthday of Buddha. All across the country you’ll find colourful lanterns decorating temples, houses and streets and there also are large parades with elaborate floats.
Unesco said the spring festival was “a time of joy” which “in times of difficulties, plays an important role in…helping people overcome the troubles of the day.”
Unesco’s Intangible Cultural Heritage status aims to protect traditions, knowledge and skills which are often inherited through generations, so they are not lost or forgotten as time moves on.
