Abstract :
Science education is to enhance the scientific and technological literacy of every person in society. Globally GMOs are increased day by day, also production and use of processed foods are increased. Society should have adequate scientific knowledge upon which to come to a reasonable opinion about the use of GMO food. For imparting education, there must be a focus on two groups more affected by the GMOs, the first one is producer, and the second one is a consumer. The farmer must know the long effect of GMO farming and the cost at which they adopt the GMO seeds and huge production. The consumer should know, what they eat and how they affect their health. Farmers are not properly educated about GMO farming, GMO seeds, their distribution, patent law, can and issues of superweeds and super pests. GM products have been in the food system for decades and their presence is growing day by day, yet consumer knowledge and awareness are not improving. Thus, there is a need to provide scientific education to farmers and consumers about GMOs.
