Welcome to
BBC Xtra English.
Today Somaya and John are talking about Prince Charles and his
views on farming.
In Britain Prince Charles is well-known for being
in favour of
organic farming.
But now he has spoken out against growing genetically modified crops. (GM crops)
Prince Charles is in favour of traditional ways of farming.
He says developing GM crops could be an environmental "disaster".
His views have been published on the website of the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
His views are at odds with a large part of the scientific community, but many evironmentalists would agree with him.
Tell us about farming where you live. Write to us in English.
حدثنا عن أساليب الزراعة في بلدك. اكتب إلينا بالإنجليزية
Asan writes from Iraq:
I think there were many ways of agriculture in our country in the 20th century but now in 21st century after climate changes and the decreasing in water inside the earth the farmers depend on the organic ways for growing the plants.
