We are a community of proponents for adoption of safe and healthy GMOs

A public forum as held in W. Kenya, a key food oasis of the country. It is meant to educate the public that GM maize is resistant against fall army worm, s.borer, key crop enemies

The Kenyan govt. in it's public awareness efforts also involved religious leaders on embracing GMOs. The issue of protecting indigenous farming is also a hot topic. A win-win is vital for GMOs should bring together, not separate.

Embracing GMOs

The government launches a GMO awareness campaign after the High Court dismisses cases against lifting the ban on GMOs.
Religious leaders and biotech scientists join forces, but smallholder farmers raise concerns about GMO food labelling.

It's interesting to see that one major hindrance to widescale adoption of GMOs is lack of infrastructure and misinformation, notnunwillingness. However, to be food secure, GMOs are part of the equation.#safeandhealthygmos

Lifesaving Golden Rice is once again under fire from groups who deny the science behind its safety and its potential to save millions of children’s lives worldwide.

Let policymakers know you support this lifesaving food. We suppport

If first world nations can develop fruits that can withstand cold using GM technology, then we too in Africa should develop those that can withstand heatstress. https://t.co/ccRrdkF4XZ

In this article, one of the hindrances to GM adoption is lack of locally manufactured GM seed varieties and local GM seed banks, thus the fear of monopolization of the sector by foreign bodies.

How can we counter this? Looking forward to ur comments

Not yet final. But chickens resistant to avian fly could be there, perhaps soon. Would you resist a chicken breast from gene-edited chickens?

India's cotton production improved by nearly 3x in a decade when GM cotton was introduced. What's good is that they sought to ensure sovereignity from international players in their GM industry.

Scientists test a gene drive in plants to target invasive species and superweeds, potentially cutting herbicide use and protecting ecosystems. This method could spread beneficial genes, offering a new way to combat agricultural pests. New Scientist https://t.co/WEtSg5sh3J

Drought not only causes wilting of crops, but also enables a conducive atmosphere for pests. Malawi is looking into using GM crops to counter both with successful results from trials. Way to go

Gene editing in plants just got simpler, thanks to a breakthrough by scientists. Their 'cut-dip-budding' method can potentially turn months of work into just two weeks, opening up the field to nearly anyone interested in agriculture innovation. @SCMP https://t.co/SxbjhHPKcz

There has been lots of joy that MEP now backs gene science. How about Africa?
