West African lawyers, activists rally against GMOs. Legal activists from Nigeria and Ghana have called on the governments of both countries to ban #GMOs, which “diminish the positive contributions of smallholder farmers who are feeding both countries.” The experts stressed concerns about GMOs are not only about safety but also the appropriation of the right to seeds by transnational corporations that deprive farmers of their traditional rights, in favour of their #patents https://businessday.ng/agriculture/article/west-african-lawyers-activists-rally-against-gmos/

. GMOs are not automatically bad, but the corporate "rights" framework that goes with these living things is horrific. It weaponizes agriculture via remote intellectual property laws designed purely for corporate benefit.
