I some times wonder where the idiots who advise the Kasongo WANTAM Regime got their education from.
Our indeginious flora and fauna resources must be protected at all costs.
Ni tamaa ya kutaka pesa za utafiti za Billango
It’s not kasongo. It’s monsanto trying to control the seed market of kenya. They’re the same shitheads that introduced tissue culture bananas.
Those bananas of tissue culture only look good on paper. Ukizidunga kwa shamba zinajaza magonjwa and then you to keep buying fungicide and insecticide from monsanto
Bill Gates, through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , advocates for modern, high-yield seed varieties, including genetically modified (GM) crops, as a key solution to hunger and poverty in Africa.
His approach generally prioritizes commercial, certified seeds over traditional indigenous ones, a strategy that has drawn significant criticism from various African groups and food sovereignty advocates.
Criticisms and the Role of Indigenous Seeds.
Critics, including African civil society groups, faith leaders, and farmers’ organizations, argue that the Foundation’s approach has negative consequences for indigenous seeds and local food systems.
Loss of Traditional Varieties:
The promotion of a few commercial crop varieties can lead to the displacement and loss of diverse local and indigenous seed varieties that are well-adapted to specific local environments and diets.
Dependence and Debt:
Farmers who switch to commercial seeds often become trapped in a cycle of debt, as they must purchase new seeds and accompanying chemical inputs (pesticides, fertilizers) every season, rather than saving and replanting their own indigenous seeds.
Legal Changes:
Critics point to efforts to change national seed laws, which could criminalize the traditional practices of saving, exchanging, and selling non-certified indigenous seeds.
Erosion of Biodiversity:
The emphasis on mono-cropping and industrial methods depletes soil fertility and reduces the overall agro-biodiversity that is crucial for long-term food system resilience against climate change.
In essence, while the Gates Foundation sees indigenous seed systems as less efficient than the modern, high-tech alternatives they promote, a broad coalition of critics views the push for industrial agriculture as a threat to food sovereignty and the sustainable use of local genetic resources.
Breaking news:
WE WON. !!!
The Kenya Seed and Plants Varieties Act, which threatened to fine and jail farmers for sharing uncertified seeds, has been declared unconstitutional..!!!
Farmers break into celebration at the offices of Greenpeace Africa, which sponsored the case.
