Organically grown foods in the natural way, goods way!!! we should we use chemicals or cross fertilizerd and tamper with nature - GM foods is anti our food security - the only way to avoid food security in Ghana is to invest morre ourselvews in locally made produce like we did under tge Acheamponmg - FFED YOURSELF INITIATOVE!!! STOP LISTENING TO THE WHITE MAN

  The European situation is pure politics of non-tariff trade barriers. This is what the European Science says:
  
  A Decade of EU-Funded GMO Research
  2001-2010
  
  Food Safety:
  
  “The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than conventional plant breeding technologies.”

  I would ask you to find out the meaning of the phrase you mention as being in the report. Just in case you feel a bit lazy, it means that it is not conclusive.
  
  Stop trying to influence anyone here. You wouldn't know how.

  I expected u to ve used ur article to explain de reason why we should embrace dat technology.why is dis GMO products been rejected in countries like Germany, Russia, Australia and many more which are even technological hub than a feeble and fragile country like Ghana? Pls don't allow ur parochial intereste supersede that of de whole nation. I refer u very person to download a book by title the elders of Zion and read it. Pls for Allah sake do ur research well in dis filed before u mislead a whole nation,simple because u ve been given some whooping sum of money by de American companies speeding dis agenda.

  Genetically modified foods are very debatable, and there is insufficient evidence to prove that it is safe for us in the long run. The bs propaganda to promote the foods and market them as safe is solely for the purpose of profit for greedy organisations (Monsanto in particular). If you know what's best for you avoid GMO foods, there's a reason there's a lot of cancer here in the US

  I also fill the writer mighty be a compromiser or a sell out?''He can not dought"has he/she had a first taught in him self the end product of GM when it comes to reproduection? You buy just a common chicken wings and tigh you not seen the head and body vice vaser what is ur imagination before you eating that? The enemy would still be an enemy he can never be a friend. Its either YES OR NO!
  The end product of GM IS DEATH WITH DISEASES WITH WORRIES.
  GM is not the best solution for a next generation!
  GM IS HELL.
