I author a pro-biotech blog called GMO Africa (http://www.gmoafrica.org/.) It's not that I'm a great fun of GMOs, but I take great umbrage at those who try to lecture Africa on which farming technology to accept and reject. GMOs, for instance, are making waves in North America and some parts of Europe. When somebody advises Africa to not even hold field experimentations of GM crops, I feel offended. I see a lot of hypocrisy. I like the point about farming organic crops in Africa. As Pearson puts it, it's not African farmers who'll do it, but Europeans. What Africans will get are morsels, crumbs in the form of slave wages from their European masters. I agree wholly with Pearson.
