Unfortunately a great deal of money is at stake for those sell fear and alternative products. Although eNGO’s out of Europe continue to push myths and fear the science out of Europe says this:

” There is no validated evidence that GM crops have greater adverse impact on health and
the environment than any other technology used in plant breeding…There is compelling evidence that
GM crops can contribute to sustainable development goals with benefits to farmers, consumers, the
environment and the economy… It is vital that sustainable agricultural production and food security
harnesses the potential of biotechnology in all its facets.” Planting the Future-EASAC 2013

Soon the word will be out that this is not a gmo free country and we will see who will buy our products.It is cheaper to buy gm from countries with port. The government issued statements saying we are gm free in Feb. Now they just look like liars who don’t understand how far real parents will go when they see their children dying from kidney failure. Gm fields being burnt will be the least of their problems. And trying to silence activists will prove to be counter productive as they will soon learn. We do not stop fighting to save human lives because we fear God not man who chooses to feed off the blood of the weak.

Feed them the same gmo they are poisoning us with. Arrest all who approved such permits and close thee companies who want to make money from poisoning us. A country less than the size of Congo can feed the world 3 meals a day but it’s easier to control and make money off hungry people. Organic produce is more profitable and yields more crop than their poison. They only eat organic, ask yourselves why. If this government does not act they too should face charges of accomplices to murder

Activists internet is being blocked already. Intellectual property law will allow them to land grab when their patented seeds fly into non gm farms. They use banks to speculate on food prices to strengthen the lie there is not enough food on the planet. They use mercenaries like blackwater to intimidate and kill activists. This is 21st century warfare people Wake UP and fight for Zambia and our children’s sake people

Only the outside looks normal but the whole inside is being eaten by the corruption of lungu…

This is all the corruption of lungu…..every ministry or GRZ entity is corrupted by this man.

There is nothing that is safe from the corruption green light of lungu.

I have telling you people, if a leader does not deny that he is a corrupt theif , forget any sanity in systems of governance…..being a corrupt theif has a green light.

Do not blatantly lie here.Which research are you referring to? and who sponsored that research. The GMO companies are big and powerful and are willing to quash any research threatening their profits. There is enough food on earth but its disproportionately distributed. Also ask yourself why cancer cases globally are rising. Developed countries with high standards of living can afford to overlook the cancer risk but can we?

This are actually renewal applications which means we have been importing GMO foods all along. Talk about closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted.
