Abstract

Science and technology students understand well the scientific approaches behind GM crops and the arguments for using them in cultivation and food applications. But, how can we introduce them to the controversial issues regarding the Agro-Food Biotechnologies? This active learning tool uses a problem based approach and gives the students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills regarding the ethical, political, social and legal aspects involved in the agro-food biotechnologies.
