dc.description.abstractBy 2005 South Africa was ranked as the 8th largest producer of transgenic crops, with 0.5 million hectares planted to maize, soybean and cotton (James, 2005). A need is recognized for environmental scientists to engage with the technology and understand its place in the agroecosystem and broader environment, and for environmental education to engage agricultural biotechnology so that the benefits and hazards of the new technology are communicated to farmers, regulators and the public. Modern information technology provides a possible means of such communication.en_ZA
