		<description><![CDATA[In Zambia 85&nbsp;percent of the labor force works in agriculture, but this is no breadbasket, nor remotely idyllic.&nbsp;In Zambia, the odds of living past 40 are low. Twenty percent of children are underweight, 32 percent of adults are illiterate, and 42 percent have no access to safe drinking water. The nation's gross domestic product hovers around $3 per day; about $1 per day of that is personal income. Against this backdrop, a $450,000 laboratory for detecting Genefied Modified Mechanisms (GMOs) in Zambia is near completion at the Seed Control and Certification Institute (SCCI) in Lusaka.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But how can that be? Food retailers in the US and Europe, and their
friends, assure everyone that organic farming produces just as much
food as doing it the modern way, and sells for more money, too! The
picture is different in Zimbabwe. When you're really, really poor,
organic farming is the only method within your means. When a
neighboring country starts using modern techniques, and you can't,
you're worse than poor.]]></description>

		<title>Drought tolerance on the way</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Drought tolerant maize has long been on the horizon for researchers
around the world. Funds for public research are tight, and the costs of
regulatory compliance are astronomical. The result: Monsanto and BASF
have discovered a naturally-occurring gene that can help
maize&nbsp;plants combat drought
conditions and confer yield stability during periods of inadequate
water supplies. And the farmers who need this technology most -- mainly
in drought-stricken regions of Africa -- won't get to use it.]]></description>
