Please do your personal research before you conclude. As much as gmo is appealing, it is artificial engineered and nothing artificial serves a short term good and much more adverse long-term effects
No, there are no Bt bananas, cassavas, or sorghum. There were once Bt potatoes but they were abandoned, which is too bad because they were easier to grow and didn't need to be sprayed with pesticides to get decent yield. Irish potatoes seems an odd thing to say. Potatoes originated in Peru, not Ireland. When I think of potatoes in Ireland I think of the famine when a fungus called Phytopthora infestans wiped out the corp and starvation wiped out the people. That could happen again, but we now can produce varieties of potatoes which are immune to that fungus.
My big question is, do we have these GMO seeds produced locally or they will have to be imported into the counary? So that we are a targeted market by the producing country?
we are allowing our own perceptions to take tall on us instead of being objecting. as long as there are clear structures to ensure healthy GMOs by ensuring proper research, effective confined field trials, national trials...there is nothing wrong in improving livelihood and food chained by biotechnology
The problem is having those structures compromised (of which the likelihood is high considering we've never managed to control vital commodities like pharmaceuticals to avoid counterfeits). We're not ready for GMO as a country, just like we were never ready for devolution.
Let's carefully distinguish between eradication of native species and bringing new genes into indigenous species. There is no indigenous species of maize in Kenya. GMO maize cannot crossbreed with any wild plant unless it is very closely related to maize. So there's no issue about indigenous species for eradication. But what about other varieties of maize, also non-indigenous but not GMO. The nation has to decide by democratic methods whether this is a potential problem. Suppose it is decided that cross-pollination is an unwanted thing. Then it has to be prevented. But that doesn't necessarily mean a ban. Cross pollination can be prevented in many other ways. If the GMO and non-GMO maize are grown a few thousand meters apart, there won't be significant cross pollination. If the GMO strain of maize produces pollen in May and the non-GMO strain of maize produced pollen only in June, you won't have cross-pollination. In the major western countries where maize is an important crop, even before GMO maize was invented, almost all the maize grown was hybrid maize. To grow the seeds of hybrid maize, a cross between two different strains, the seed grower has to prevent uncontrolled cross-pollination. There's more than a hundred years of experience in doing that. It's not easy, but it is practical and the superiority of hybrid crops make the effort worth it.
GMO Foods are always labelled in their markets so that the market consumes them at heir own peril. We should also have them labelled here so that we choose whether we`ll buy organic or inorganic food
Being accepted in the USA n Canada doesn't mean they're good...that's where Africans we always go wrong. We've seen products that are consumed in these countries yet they're very harmful.
@ OV. Kalcha, when these foods meet at our markets (not supermarkets ) they will not be labled by anyone. Remember this is where majority of kenyan consumer buy their farm produce eg tomatoes, greens etc.
GMO foods were first introduced in the United States around 1993 and became common around 1996. Between 1975 and 1992, the rate of cancer in the US went up a lot, steadily increasing from year to year. But 1993 was the peak year. Since 1993, the rate of cancer cases has decreased, rather steadily. I doubt that GMO foods cause cancer rates to decrease, but the idea that GMO foods cause cancer to increase is hard to understand. What evidence we have is just the opposite of that. The experimental evidence of a causal relationship between GMO maize and cancer in laboratory rats is a tricky fake experiment by a scientist who was trying to prove the impossible. He chose to experiment with a variety of rat which had been bred specifically to have a susceptibility to cancer! The are called Sprague Dawley rats. Why did anyone breed such rats? Well, there are scientists who test various drugs to see if they can cure cancer. It would be many times more expensive to do such drug trials with rats that mostly live out their lives without cancer. So the Sprague Dawley rats serve a purpose. But if you are trying to see if some food or drug CAUSES cancer, this would be the worst possible kind of rat to use in the experiment since most of those rats would get the cancer anyway.
Trust your regulators. They are qualified and earn a salary to Keep Kenyans safe. They ensure the GMOs undergo strickt safety assessment before the seed can be certified as safe for planting and eating.

They have to use their meager earnings or borrow, most of the time, to purchase seed and other inputs- pesticides, fertilizers.
