On Tuesday 18th October a new Global Citizens\u2019 Report on the State of GMOs \u201cThe GMO Emperor has no Clothes\u201d, was launched by our partner\u00a0Vandana Shiva\u00a0at a press conference in Rome. The report, which features contributions from civil society networks from across 6 continents, has been co-ordinated by\u00a0Navdanya International. The\u00a0African Biodiversity Network\u00a0has proudly contributed and edited the section on Africa. The report finds that GM has failed to live up to any of its promises in both developed and developing countries, and has led to escalating chemical use, \u201csuperweeds\u201d and \u201csuperbugs\u201d. They have also failed to commercialise any crops tolerant to drought or disease. Instead, the control that Monsanto and GM have exerted over the farming system have left farmers in spiralling debt, and contributed to 250,000 farmer suicides in India.<\/p>\n
