UNEP-UNCTAD report "Organic Agriculture and Food Security in Africa ", the study demonstrates that organic agriculture can be equal or better for food security than most conventional systems and is more likely to be sustainable in the longer term, as it builds up levels of natural, human, social, financial and physical capital in farming communities. It also favours the use of low carbon footprint production methods and local resources.
Hybrid food sources are patented and "owned" by the patent-holders. AFRICANS ARE NOT NOR WILL THEY EVER BE "OWNERS" OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. MAKING THEM DEPENDENT IN PERPETUITY TO THE PATENT-CONTROLLERS. Many of these farmers cannot afford these seeds and will go into debt never being able to pay the principal. AFRICANS HAVE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE...PLZ DO NOT SELL YOUR CHILDREN INTO SLAVERY.
@charbonelle I AGREE. Monsanto have their claws in South Africa, they are in bed with government already where we cannot have natural seed banks that exceed R100 000 turnover per month (approx 8000 $). We will fight them, and educate people in permaculture.
