GM Food?

 

abti,

Hunger is the greatest eval on the earth. As long as Africa can't feed its 1 billion ppl use of Biotechnology is better off. Sheekadii gaalada dharagtay ayaad noola imanaysiin

^ i see you'd rather use 'biotechnology' produced GM foods than maintain your integrity and sharaf as a human of equal proportions? until now we've REFUSED these scientific creations of the gaal but you're an ''il yare geelbeed'' and we know many of your ''ibaax'' folks were ''objects of desire'' for the colonial masters in and around the State House iyo Hindiya Laynka area of Hargeisa before the 1960s........ so your thinking doesn't come as a surprise, abti.

 

for centuries now, the whites and their proxies, in their haste to further sow the seeds of population control measures, have been looking to test their ''inorganic'' and ''cell in a petri-dish'' manipulated generic foods on Africans as though we're like mice, mouses or other rodent-like creatures.......can you believe that? :confused: around the early 2000s Robert Mugabe refused GM foods because ''apparently'' his 'people are not mice in a laboratory to be experimented on', ma garatay?

 

also...... why is WFP and other tentacle-like agencies of the 'Global World Order' dumping cheap produces on African Markets, abti? Africans can produce their own produces, you know. abti, let's bring back the US-listed terrorist group Al-Shaabab because it's quite obvious they know how to plough the fields and harvest the crops better than INGO field officers on the ground.

[Carafaat]

Wiil Cusub,

 

My biggest concern on GMO food is not related to the health concerns(risk on cancer). But on the prospect of the seeds being intellectual property and thus pattented by large multinationals. This could in turn make the food sector a monopoly of large firms, much like the pharmaceutical sector.

 

To give you an example: Imagine I want to plant mais or tomatoes. You buy the seeds from a large corporation and then you harvest the mais or tomatoes. The problem starts when you want to use the seeds of the plants you harvest. These gmo plants have been geneticly modified and do not contain seeds you can use to plant again. This will force you to buy new seeds from the multinational. This will literly create a monopoly on the food chain.

 

This isnt an issue for the rich countries but specially for countries in Africa. Just like the pattent on medicine is an issue for these countries and less for the west.

Alpha,

 

You are absolutely right. From a geo-political perspective, the food chain is considered by the west as the single most important security "thread" or rather the most important battle field. For the last 20 years the world food markets have been distorted with cheap foods dumped on the African markets supported with export subsidies by the US and EU, WFP 'food aid' and speculations on foor markets. This has greatly affected the African food production, making it ripe for interverence and monopolisation.

AUGUST 2002

 

The United Nations is extremely concerned about the unfolding humanitarian crisis in southern Africa. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) estimate that 13 million people will need food assistance in the coming months to avoid widespread starvation and a dramatic deterioration in health and nutritional status of the population in the affected countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) believes the health of these 13 million people may well be seriously damaged as a result ofthe current food crisis. Stocks of food in the region fall far short of estimated needs and food aid, along with medical and other assistance, will be critical to avoid a catastrophe.

 

The World Food Programme has received donations of foods for use in southern Africa, some of which contain GMOs. Several governments in southern Africa have accepted these donated foods without reservation and GM maize varieties are grown in the region. However, other Governments have expressed reservations on receiving food aid containing GMOs and have sought advice from the United Nations.

There are no existing international agreements yet in force with regard to trade in food or food aid that deal specifically with food containing GMOs. It is UN policy that the decision with regard to the acceptance of GM commodities as part of food aid transactions rests with the recipient countries and that is the case in southern Africa.

Waa wareey! Alpha your dhaqancelis period is completed, you have to come back to Uk. otherwise you will learn more old school hargeisa tribal issue which is very dirty for your age. Lets us concentrate 'biotechnology' and food analysis which is my specialty and we should not jump personal and tribal analysis which is dangerous game for your age.

 

I thought that this discussion was 20 century discussion and I thought that every one of us knows that he/she eats more or less weekly GMO food.

Check this list and ask your self how oven you use this product

 

Yes Carafaat the biggest problem of GMO is that the seeds being intellectual property and thus patented by large multinationals. But patented issue is only for rich countries. Pakistan and Idea re produce so many patented medicines, china copied every thing from those who come with blue print of their prototypes for cheap industrialization. Why should Africa worried for patent rights.

This is like the first time your friend introduces you to weed/jaad/cigarette/balwad in general, they pay for the first few times and when you are hooked you start supplying the chain.....this means our agriculture after few years will be dependent on modified seeds, that we will join the global seed market.

If Somaliland made a good use of its annual rain fall by constructing reservoirs and employing advanced irrigation methods like drip irrigation, then our organic produce is enough to feed our small population. We are blessed with virgin soil, plenty of sunshine, and enough rain but we lack the leadership and the foresight to advance our society.
