GMO food ban

After the controversial report out of France, the Minister for Public Health in Kenya has just announced a ban on all GMO imports. No one knows what this means for the relief agencies who have permits from The National Biosafety Authority to bring in foodstuffs to help feed the 2.2 million assessed to be starving and on relief food supplies. WFP supports 100,000 malnourished children and pregant women, provides enriched food to 85,000 children and school meals to 630,000. 78,000 living with HIV are on a nutrition program.
