Biography
Rosa Martha Desentis for more than 30 years has been dedicated to research in the science of food, started with fresh tropical fruit studying its conservation, later with probiotic microorganisms, also antioxidant enzymes to form polymers with great antioxidant effect. For 3 years she has been researching GMO, especially seeds, from a bioethical perspective. Most countries seek to follow the same rules of control and prevention for the consumption of foods derived from GMO in order to avoid any risk to human health or the environment. Evaluations should not only start from an economic base, but from the care of the most important capital of humanity, which is the human product and the ecology that sustains it.
