If significant risks are identified, parallel concerns will arise about the capacity of small farmers and regulators to manage those risks without training and resources. To capture the improvements in crop yield and food nutrition that biotechnology promises while managing risks may require a commitment of public resources from nations that have few, if any, public resources to spare. Each nation is likely to face those choices with a different perception of how to weigh the benefits against the risks, and how to deal with the changes that new technologies often bring.
