Plse dear Kenyans DON’T allow GMO to penetrate our markets! This is a crop that HAS TO be bought to be planted. Seeds DO NOT produce fruit, cereal or veg. (Think STERILE!) & cross-pollinate organic plants that mutate to GMO. Subsistent farming - life line of the poor -endangered!

Then we are in trouble. I thought we just bought the produce and that most farmers declined the one way seeds. The millennium villages didn’t succeed because (among other factors) many subsistent farmers opted out. Would love to start a conversation about GMO plse share thoughts.
