Abstract

The debate on genetically modified (GM) crops in Africa has been contentious, with varying perspectives and policies across different countries. A comprehensive search strategy was employed using multiple databases, including PubMed and Scopus, focusing on peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, and government documents published between and . Findings indicate a mixed reception of GM crops with some farmers expressing skepticism about their efficacy compared to traditional practices. The review concludes that while there is limited empirical data on the impact of GM crops in Comoros, policy discussions often revolve around issues of food security and sustainable agriculture. Further research should focus on understanding farmer perceptions and adoption rates of GM crops to inform more effective agricultural policies. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
