A key question is:  are the GM crops currently available, and those under development, suitable for the needs and interests of poor rural subsistence farmers ? The answer is unambiguously:  NO . Herbicide tolerant crops were developed eg by Monsanto to extract rent from ‘Round Up’, once the patents on glyphosate expired.
Those corporate strategies were enthusiastically backed by eg the UK government. DTI, Jan 1991
Subsistence farmers in SSA have never used herbicides.  They hoe out weeds.  New technologies for SSA must be  employment-generating  not  labour-displacing . Insect resistant Bt crops have been developed for the pests on industrial farms not subsistence farms; they are far too expensive for the poor.

  • 11. A key question is: are the GM crops currently available, and those under development, suitable for the needs and interests of poor rural subsistence farmers ? The answer is unambiguously: NO . Herbicide tolerant crops were developed eg by Monsanto to extract rent from ‘Round Up’, once the patents on glyphosate expired.
  • 12. Those corporate strategies were enthusiastically backed by eg the UK government. DTI, Jan 1991
  • 13. Subsistence farmers in SSA have never used herbicides. They hoe out weeds. New technologies for SSA must be employment-generating not labour-displacing . Insect resistant Bt crops have been developed for the pests on industrial farms not subsistence farms; they are far too expensive for the poor.
