I recently read an article in @thenation Magazine that falsely claimed the passage of Ghana's 2020 Plant Variety Protection Act means farmers who save their seeds for replanting could face a 15-year jail term. Nothing could be further from the truth (1/3).

The nexus between genome editing and climate action is no spraying, meaning safer soils, and minimized use of machines, hence less production costs. This leaves farmers with more money. Dr Roy Mugiira @BiosafetyKenya #ClimateActionZone

Last year 7.4 million people were internally displaced because of climate-related issues. Displacement is not fun. It messes up health, education, housing, access to food and water, plus more. @ThandieMwape speaking at the #ClimateActionZone #Relief2Resilience

For Dr John Chumo, CEO of Mama Doing Good #climateaction discussion has been there for so long. It is time to ask ourselves what exactly we can do. #SDGs #ClimateActionZone #Relief2Resilience @OfficialKGBS @pthigo @TalkAfrica1 @HomeboyzRadio
