Hello Friends,
A group known as AfricaBio made up of all the groups who aim to make SA the
fastest growth area for GMOs are having their inaugural meeting Wednesday 9
Feb. A professor Prakash of the Univ. of Tuskegee in the States who is to
address the meeting is quoted in the invite as saying:" anti technology
activists accuse corporations of playing God by genetically improving crops,
but it is these so-called environmentalists who are really playing God, not
with genes, but with the lives of poor and hungry people". As a note of
interest to indicate the strides the GMO lobby have made in SA, Monsanto's
rBGH, banned in 101 countries, has been approved by the authorities for use
in SA. Does anyone know Prof. Prakash and can help us counter this major
threat? Thank you. James Moffett. Chairperson, Organic Agric. Assoc. of
S.Africa.
