Sleaze introduction of GMOs through the backdoor of reduced rainfall by the EU parliament and the UN.
Some of the 50 parliamentarians from across West Africa attending a conference on climate change, and food and water security held in Dakar on 25 and 26 March, looked uncomfortable when presented with a picture of a banana with a watermelon-coloured peel and an elephant with a cabbage head. “This is what you think genetically modified organisms (GMO) look like, right?” asked the plant breeding expert, Marcel Galiba. “I want you to reconsider,” he challenged the lawmakers.
“We want them to take this information back to their parliaments and lobby for urgently needed action,” European Parliamentarians for Africa (AWEPA)'s Secretary General, Pär Granstedt, told IRIN.
