Kano Farmers and CSOs Push for Ban on GMOs and Pesticides - Advocate for Agroecology

Farmers and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kano are advocating for a ban on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and harmful pesticides, promoting agroecology instead. The call was made during a Practical Agroecology Training and Stakeholder Engagement event organized by Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) in collaboration with Surge Africa Nigeria Alliance.

The training focused on organic farming practices, including the production of organic fertilizers and pesticides using local materials. Stakeholders highlighted the risks associated with GMOs and chemical pesticides, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agricultural practices for health, environment, and economy.
