'GMOs and food sovereignty '
by Henry Makori
Summary:
A Kenya government agency is to stop the sale of a popular seasoning product
because it contains genetically modified ingredients that could harm consumers.
The Government banned production or importation of GMOs in 2012, but is now
considering to allow to them in order to boost food production and alleviate
poverty.
GMOs are now being touted as a major solution to hunger and mass poverty in

coming around.

is not why a billion people are hungry; it is lack of access.
