Africans Petition on Health Hazards of GMO Climate-Tolerant Crops by AfDB


Africans Petition on Health Hazards of GMO Climate-Tolerant Crops by AfDB
The Issue
Human Health Hazards of the Climate-Adapted Crops for Africa from AfDB
Genetically engineered foods are different from natural foods. Genetic engineering allows, for foreign genes, bacterial and viral vectors, viral promoters and antibiotic marker systems to be engineered into food. The introduction of the Genetically-Engineered Climate-adapted crops would corrupt the gene pool of Africa’s natural plants and hence cause famine and perpetual dependency on corporate seeds from outside Africa. Corporations would hijack the food security of Africa. African countries would be entirely dependent on corporations for seeds with enormous health hazards. We request you sign to petition to all African leaders to reject the seed imports from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and their partners.
The Genetically Engineer Climate-Adapted Crops Delivered by the African Development Bank have the following Health Hazards for Africans.
1. Toxicity
2. Allergic Reactions
3. Antibiotic Resistance
4. Immuno-suppression
5. Cancer
6. Loss of Nutrition
7. Environmental risk
8. Loss of landrace biodiversity.
9. Food safety
10. Loss of Africa’s Food Security
11. Infertility
12. Depopulation of Africa
