In a commencement speech at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, President Bush on Wednesday blamed continued hunger in Africa on Europe's ban on genetically modified crops.

Bush said the ban was based on "unfounded, unscientific fears" of bio-tech foods. He said it has prevented Third World countries from investing in new technologies.
