Playing with Hunger: The reality behind the shipment of GMOs as food aid
Friends of the Earth International, July 2003: A controversy over genetically modified
(GM) food aid arose in 2000 and grew
increasingly in 2002, when several
Southern African countries refused GM
food aid during a food crisis. African
countries were presented with a false
choice of either accepting Genetically
Modified Organisms (GMOs) or watch-
ing people starve. This situation, where
GM food aid was presented often as the
only solution to hunger was advanced
primarily by the US which is also
aggressively marketing Genetically
Modified (GM) crops in developing
countries.
