Abstract

Genetically modified (GM) crops have been a subject of debate in South Sudan's agricultural sector since their introduction in . A qualitative study was conducted with interviews and focus groups involving stakeholders including farmers, government officials, and NGOs. Findings indicate a mixed response from local communities; while some support increased food security, others are concerned about environmental impacts and health risks. There is a need for comprehensive policy frameworks that integrate public consultations and risk assessments to address concerns over GM crops effectively.

Policy makers must ensure regulatory oversight and support sustainable agricultural practices.
