Description

In this study, several samples from two different producers that are present in the Kosovo market and which are declared as GMO free are analyzed, the method of analysis is Agrastrip® GMO - Romer labs®. Samples were taken on a random basis in the market and the focus of the study were two products (corn and soy). As this problem is relatively new in the Republic of Kosovo, some theoretical and practical issues will be addressed by referring to the researchers in this field: what are GMOs and why GM foods are produced, the distinction to be made (myths and facts, socio-economic aspects), side effects (environment and health), bees as being of being dependent on existence and life (especially in food, relationship with GMOs).

Study of Foods Declared as GMO Free in the Market of Republic of Kosovo
