  take an ewe to destroy the livelihood of the majority of the Akans . many european countries have banned the use of gmo s due to the diverse effects including the fact that once introduced you can never go back . look at the bloated americans and on the average inferior minds and say these ewes have this same toxic plan for the Akans , the americans have over 300 million so can afford to destoy millions just for the short term benefit of cash profit . it really is time for the Akans to leave Ghana

  KNUST is situated in the heart of Akan land , and the little knowlwdge I have of science tells me research is part of the duties of such institutions. After 50 years how many cross breeds have they produced through cross pollination and fertilizations? They are called HYBRIDS. Gregor Mewdel performed such experiments and produced a lot of new hybrids. Can fools stop all thesetribalizations and concentrate on serious issues

  It would be interesting to see how this minister performs. As I have advised recently, it is better to,promise little and do much. Let your work,speak,for itself instead of making promises you cannot keep.

  The chemical corporations and their lobbyists pushed legislation through congress in the early 90s that allowed GMOs, explicitly did not require labeling, and with little or no independent testing. The US population was not well educated in this, was mostly kept in the dark, and as a result they serve as the real time test subjects of GMOs.
  
  GMO seeds are designed to increase yields to foreign corporate bank accounts, not to farmers anywhere.
  
  GMO seeds are patented and require patented chemicals. Monsanto has been extremely aggressive in the US, bringing lawsuits against farmers for growing crops that have been accidentally and undesirably pollinated by patented GMO crops. The lawsuits, many of which have been successful accuse the victimized farmers of stealing patented products.

  "For the past decade, the period when the greatest proliferation of GMO seeds in agriculture has taken place, Monsanto, Pioneer (DuPont) and Syngenta require anyone buying their GMO seeds to sign an agreement that explicitly forbids that the seeds be used for any independent research. Scientists are prohibited from testing a seed to explore under what conditions it flourishes or even fails. They cannot compare any characteristics of the GMO seed with any other GMO or non-GMO seeds from another company. Most alarming, they are prohibited from examining whether the genetically modified crops lead to unintended side-effects either in the environment or in animals or humans"
