Writer: Ghana doesn't need frankenfood

Issac Kusi writes in the Ghanian Chronicle that the African country should strengthen its organic farming program and reject the influences of western corporations such as Monsanto, which are championing the use of genetically modified (GM) food. " If a company like Monsanto sets up offices in Africa and promotes GM foods it's a new form of colonization with profits as the ulterior goal," he writes. "Some of the GM seeds have insecticides inserted in them; some of them have identification tags inserted that will enable owners to identify their crops. Is this what we want to eat?"
