Serikali yapiga marufuku mazao ya uhandisijeni(GMOs) nchini

You may be right, ila from what I know Monsanto wana kampuni Arusha, sijui kama wameshaanza kuuza au bado, but we are on the way there.
 
The issue here is GMO, forget about MONSANTO , so is it o.k for other companies . Think about SASSO chicken . I believe that we are overreacting here . We need to be able to feed our people if we fail then in food aid we will not a choice what kind of seeds were used. Others have moved forward in Genetic engineering it o.k to use their knowledge to our advantage.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), GM seeds are used to plant more than 90 percent of corn, soybeans, and cotton grown in the United States. Unless you consciously avoid them, GM foods likely find their way into many of your snacks and meals.
 
Ingekuwa kwa wenzetu wangeweka wazi majina ya wabunge waliotaka kutuletea GMO,ili tuwafahamu.
 
Hivi unaijua US Department of Agriculture wewe na unaijua Monsanto na GMO companies wewe.Do you really know what they stand for.Kama ni scientist basi you are either a very young scientist so you do not really know what is going on.Halafu inaelekea unachumia tumbo,so you do not really care what happens to the unsuspecting and ignorant Tanzanians.
Very sad.

Finally sina haja ya kukuambia the dark side of GMOs,kama unataka kweli kujua, the internet has many sites which has the right information.Kwa kuanzia hata hivyo you can read this scholarly article.
This is a scholarly article of three GM corn on rats.The effects are very well documented in the conclusions.

A Comparison of the Effects of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health

And finally please be informed that Monsanto has a stake in all GMO companies,it is infact the mother company.I would infact call it the "mother of harlots." This means that you cannot separate Monsanto from the other smaller GMO companies.They are one.Knowing the evil nature of Monsanto and therefore other companies, it would be suicide to allow Monsanto or any othet GMO company for that matter to have anything to do with our food.To really appreciate the evil nature of Monsanto,please go through the following article.It tells it all!

The Complete History of Monsanto, The World's Most Evil Corporation
 
Mkuu, je ni kweli pamoja na ardhi yote hii na rasilimali maji na watu tunahitaji GMO? Hybrid zinatosha sana na tunaweza zalisha na kuuzia nchi zingine nyingi za Africa. Unajua hayo mazao wanayolima kwa GMO USA si kwa lengo la chakula cha binadamu kwa asilimia kubwa, pia wanazo sheria kali na uchunguzi wa mara kwa mara wa hivyo vyakula. Ni lazima label ionyeshe kuwa ni GMO na wengi hawatumii kabisa.
 
Nilimuona katika TV mtaalamu wetu wenyewe akipongeza sana utafiti huo wa GMO. Sikushangaa kwa vile naelewa anamtumikia shetani ili apate mradi wake, sasa afanyeje?

kwenye discussion kinasema hivi ;The experiments clearly need to be repeated preferably with more than one species of animal.

Nisaidieni tofauti ya mbegu za hybrid na GMO,nielimishe tafadhali kuna mambo nataka kuelewa katika hayo,
pia tofauti ya hybrid na organic farming,au hybrid inaweza kutumika kwenye organic farming!
 
Uelewa wako wewe kwenye maswala ya GMO ni mdogo sana. Nakushauri kaa kimya tu wakufundishe wanaojua. Si lazima kuchangia hata kama hujui.
Kweli kabisa mkuu Mimi sio mtalam wa maswala ya mimea Ila kwa kusoma tu sehemu tofauti tofauti hawajamaa wanataka kuja kututeka wakisha maliza mbegu zetu wanaanza kutuwekea vikwazo hamtaki kuowana wanaume kwa wanaume hatuwapi tena mbegu!
Tukisema turudi kwenye mbegu zetu za asili hazitaota tena na hazita kubali tena ata tukiwa tumezihifadhi hili ni janga kubwa kuliko majanga yote!
 
hongera kwa kusaidia taifa na jamii kwa ujumla.
 
Naunga mkono hoja ya kuzuia GMO kwa sababu kama mbegu ya kizazi cha kwanza haiwezi kutoa mbegu inayoweza kuzaa tena na kuleta propagation na continuity basi hilo ni balaa, maana tutalazimika kuagiza mnegu toka kwa hilo likampuni kwa bei watakayopanga wao kila msimu wa kilimo, kwasababu mbegu za asili zitakuwa zimetoweka kutokana na mwingiliano na mbegu hizi, huu ni utumwa mbaya sana, na hakua utumwa mbaya kama wa chakula, tubaki na mbegu zetu asili..! Huyo dokta kaokoa taifa la sasa na vizazi vijavyo, tunahitaji madokta wazalendo kama huyo..!
 
Kuna mtu anajiita Graph hii inamfaa. Maana jamaa sijui ana ulimbukeni wa technology au vipi. Inaonekana kwake yeye every technology has positive impact.

Uje ujionee huku kama watu wameweka hela mbele na hawajali afya yako wala mazingira.
 
Binafsi,nitoe pongezi kwa Serikali juu ya hii GMOs,pia Tunahitaji watafiti ka Mkuu Areafiftyone ambao wanaonyesha walisoma kwa maslahi pana ya wananchi ,na sio matumbo yao,Mkuu Areafiftyone hongera Sana,Ni Jana tu hapa Jf nilisoma makala kuhusu GMOs ilivo tishio kwa wakulima mf huko India .

Naomba usome conclusion vizuri,do not rush because the results scare you!Halafu remember,mimi sio mchumia tumbo kwa kuwa nawatetea Watanzania maskini nchi yao isiharibiwe na wasilishwe matakataka.Wewe ndio mchumia tumbo.


5. Conclusions
Patho-physiological profiles are unique for each GM crop/food, underlining the necessity for a case-by-case evaluation of their safety, as is largely admitted and agreed by regulators. It is not possible to make comments concerning any general, similar subchronic toxic effect for all GM foods. However, in the three GM maize varieties that formed the basis of this investigation, new side effects linked to the consumption of these cereals were revealed, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver function, the two major diet detoxification organs, but in detail differed with each GM type. In addition, some effects on heart, adrenal, spleen and blood cells were also frequently noted. As there normally exists sex differences in liver and kidney metabolism, the highly statistically significant disturbances in the function of these organs, seen between male and female rats, cannot be dismissed as biologically insignificant as has been proposed by others 4. We therefore conclude that our data strongly suggests that these GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity. This can be due to the new pesticides (herbicide or insecticide) present specifically in each type of GM maize, although unintended metabolic effects due to the mutagenic properties of the GM transformation process cannot be excluded 42. All three GM maize varieties contain a distinctly different pesticide residue associated with their particular GM event (glyphosate and AMPA in NK 603, modified Cry1Ab in MON 810, modified Cry3Bb1 in MON 863). These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown. Furthermore, any side effect linked to the GM event will be unique in each case as the site of transgene insertion and the spectrum of genome wide mutations will differ between the three modified maize types. In conclusion, our data presented here strongly recommend that additional long-term (up to 2 years) animal feeding studies be performed in at least three species, preferably also multi-generational, to provide true scientifically valid data on the acute and chronic toxic effects of GM crops, feed and foods. Our analysis highlights that the kidneys and liver as particularly important on which to focus such research as there was a clear negative impact on the function of these organs in rats consuming GM maize varieties for just 90 days.


Finally naomba usome article ifuatayo,labda itasaidia kuondoa hili pazia jeusi ulilofunikwa na Monsanto kuhusu GMOs.

Please read the following!

Genetically modified products and their potential to environmental harm.


The debate around genetically modified organisms (GMO) is huge and heated on either side. However one of the major considerations when arguing against the use of GMO products is the potential for environmental harm. But what exactly are the environmental risks to consider with regards to GMOs?
First of all, it is important to understand what a GMO is precisely. The World Heath Organization (WHO) defines them as organisms whose DNA has been altered in a non-natural way. GM plants are usually changed to be insect resistant, virus resistant, or herbicide tolerant. With these changes come some potentially problematic environmental challenges.



Firstly, toxicity is a huge issue surrounding chemical pesticides and herbicides, used commonly with GMOs, in addition to the toxicity inherent to these plants. GMOs may be toxic to non-target organisms, bees and butterflies being the most talked-about examples currently. Bees are hugely important in the pollination of many food crops, but are unfortunately extremely endangered by modern agricultural techniques, such as GM crops. Monarch butterflies are specifically at risk from GMO maize plants. In addition to bees and butterflies, birds are also at risk from pesticides, and work as biological control agents and pollinators, again, like bees.
Furthermore, the longterm effects of GMOs are not certain. Pests that are targeted by these agricultural methods can adapt to pesticides and herbicides, in addition to the DNA changes in GM plants to make them ¨resistant.¨ This means that they will not always be effective, but their toxic legacies will remain.
Cumulative effects of products such as GMOs are important to take into consideration. Evidence also suggests that small genetic changes in plants may produce even larger ecological shifts, meaning that there is potential for GMO´s to become persistent and weedy in agricultural conditions, since they are modified to be resistant to some modern agricultural techniques. This can also mean being invasive in natural settings, where GMOs, of course, do not occur naturally. It is not impossible for new, human modified, plants to become invasive species in delicate, natural ecosystems.



Finally, biodiversity, while it is critical in all ecosystems and to the sustainability of all species, is put at risk by GMOs. When GM crops are planted, generally in a monocrop fashion, many heritage seeds are no longer used. The nature of GMOs means fewer weed flowers and, therefore, less nectar for pollinators. Toxins released into the soil through the plants´ routes mean fewer soil bacteria, which are integral to healthy soil for plants to grow without the use of chemical fertilizers. Toxic residues are left in the soil of GM crops. Nutrients are not returned to the soil in mono crops and from GMO foods, meaning that soil is becoming dry and void of all nutrients, generally integral to the growing process. A cycle of dependence on GMO seeds and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides is then created in order to grow a single crop. In addition to soil issues, the irrigation used to grow GM foods naturally carries all of these problems into water sources and into the air. This exposes different bacteria, insects, and animals to the same problems.
All of these impacts must be taken into consideration in the larger picture; GMO´s DNA may end up in soil, compost, animal feed and byproducts, and other living organisms from insects to larger pests. Bees can transport pesticides, herbicides, and DNA through the air into the environment. Once a plant is introduced in an agricultural environment, it is reasonable to assume it will become part of a larger ecosystem, meaning the problem of environmental damage done by GMOs is much larger than simply potentially harming our health.
Aside from environmental issues, GMOs are the topic of social and ethical debates as well. It goes without saying that we live in an inter-connected world, where the way we interact with nature can cause a complex array of consequences. Being informed on the food we are consuming, and the way modern agricultural techniques are affecting the environment, is one effective way of consciously interacting with the natural world
