Keep the ban on GMOs in Kenya!

Keep the ban on GMOs in Kenya!

13 January 2023

For the agribusiness, the end always justifies the means. For decades, giant agricultural companies have pressured governments across the globe to loosen Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)1 regulations and make it easier for these substances to make it into our food unlabeled. The Slow Food position is that GMOs are not needed to feed the word, and work against efforts to make agriculture more sustainable. From South Korea to Uruguay, our grassroot movement works to prevent GMOs from entering our fields and ending up on our forks. Our most recent battle in this regard took place in Kenya last year.
