Genetically modified organism controversy (Ghana)
The controversy around Genetically modified organisms(GMO) has been widespread in Ghana since 2013 after the Ghanaian government announced 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://business.peacefmonline.com/pages/news/201312/182787.php )〕 an introduction of GMO technology into the country that same year. Activist groups including Food Sovereignty Ghana, The Coalition For Farmers Rights And Advocacy Against GMOs, Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Convention People’s Party and individuals have spoken against its introduction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.peacefmonline.com/pages/health/201310/177235.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://revolution-news.com/thousands-ghana-protest-gmos/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.peacefmonline.com/pages/health/201312/183585.php )〕 The disputes concern whether organisms procured from genetic engineering should be allowed into the market. Activists consider genetically manipulated food as a health hazard, "neo-colonialist" and a threat to economic and food sovereignty and national security.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.peacefmonline.com/pages/news/201310/177204.php )〕
Ghana’s Biosafety Act 831, 2011 has already permitted the introduction of GM foods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2012/02/17/ghanas-law-on-gm-foods-finally-gets-presidential-assent/ )〕 Currently “confined field trials” of GM rice and cowpea in the Ashanti region, and cotton in the 3 northern regions in the country, are under way.
〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://business.peacefmonline.com/pages/news/201312/182707.php )〕 There is a temporary injunction on any further GMO commercialization and development until a case brought by Food Sovereignty Ghana against the Ministry of Food and Agriculture has been concluded〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Court Orders Temporary Halt On GM Commercialization )〕
== History of GMOs in Ghana ==
The history of GMOs in Ghana is not clear. According to a feature which appeared on Peacefmonline.com, Ghana's first president Dr Kwame Nkrumah promoted research into GMOs to produce disease and weather resistant varieties and high yielding breeds of organisms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://comment.peacefmonline.com/pages/features/201312/182895.php )〕 However, Nkrumah's daughter, Samia claimed that her father would have "rejected... the proliferation of GMOs into Ghana".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Samia: Nkrumah would’ve rejected "impoverishing" IMF bailout )〕 The same feature 〔 also claimed that the establishment of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission in 1963, National Research Council (now CSIR) and Ghana Academy of Sciences began research into biotechnology as well as that the Nungua Black Sheep, a highly productive and robust sheep in Ghana, was one of the results of the research. This was also disputed.
