JAKARTA, July 17 (Reuters) - Indonesia plans to use genetically modified crops to boost food staples such as rice, soybean and corn once a draft law is passed, an agriculture official said on Tuesday.

GM technology using genes to modify crops in order to yield more output has previously faced resistance in the country in case of health or biodiversity risks. http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSJAK26427020070717
