Kenya’s GMO Crop Push Gets Backlash
KENYA – Kenya’s decades-old ban on the cultivation and importation of genetically modified maize is lifted, thanks to the new government of Kenyan President William Ruto.
KENYA – Kenya’s decades-old ban on the cultivation and importation of genetically modified maize is lifted, thanks to the new government of Kenyan President William Ruto.
It comes as East Africa faces the worst drought in four decades ravaging crops and livestock.
The region’s wealthiest country is struggling to feed its 55 million people.
The country runs a consistent deficit of 10 million bags of the maize staple.
The gap is filled by imports.
Ruto, who was sworn into office in mid-September, says the move was necessary to help ensure food security.
Maize growers and smallholder farmers groups filed a lawsuit after farmers started criticizing the move.
