    If you cast your little mind back to pre-Mugabe Zimbabwe, it was once considered the cradle of African agriculture, but as Mugabe removed the white farmers and replaced them with ignorant chimps they now have to import food to avoid starvation.

    You don't need mutant crops, simply responsible governments.

    BTW Harry Pre Mugabe was called Rhodesia and they Import very little food its given to them by The UN food aid and without it upwards of two million would starve to death , first thing Mugabe did was nationalize everything And drive out all of the rich people you appear to despise so much .

    You are dodging the point obviously, becausse the point completely shoots down your uh..position..such as it is.
    Rhodesia exported food.
    Zimbabwe is starving and surviving on handouts.

    So do they need GM food or good government?

    Have you any idea how many millions of Tonnes of food stuffs China has to Import every year?, with GM food production it may well become self sufficient and even export some too, Clever people these Chinese and they ain't spending all that dough on research and GM crop growing for a laugh, here is a rough breakdown on how much they have to import every year , the worlds population is growing at 80 million a year ,if Countrys do not prepare like China are doing they may finish up like Zimbabwe and North Korea who knows Satisfying the growing appetites of humans and animals - Business - China Daily Asia

    ^ Yes, and then because of the one child policy and aging population it will steadily decline.
    The current rise is shown in the table.

    And of course you have solid evidence that the one Child per family will still be in place in 10 years from now ?

    And lest you think China is in it for the good of mankind....

    January 25, 2014

    China took advantage of falling grain prices last month to lay in a huge supply. The Middle Kingdom imported 820,968 metric tons of corn and corn-based animal feed. Most of it came from the American Midwest.

    But somewhere between Decatur and Shanghai, trouble arose. In recent weeks, Chinese inspectors have sent back roughly 600,000 tons of U.S. grain, saying it flunked their quality-control standards. By rejecting such a vast amount of corn, China has roiled the marketplace and shattered trade relations.

    China says the problem is genetically modified crops.

    Have you read Frankenstein? I suggest you read or re-read it and understand the point that Mary Shelley was making. It makes as much sense today as it did in the early 1800's. It may also improve your vocabulary considerably.

    China are in it for themselves just like any other sensible Governments should be , what about the 200,20,000 tonnes they accepted I suppose it was not GM produced eh

    You really are a moron.

    What I'm on about is that you don't need to create mutant crops to have adequate food production. Prior to Mugabe, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe made far more than they needed.

    I would have thought that was obvious, and perhaps you were being obtuse, but the truth is that you're just a fucking idiot.

    That was only one Country in Africa what about the rest of the World ?, many who have to Import food, and anyway that was over 3 decades ago, there are quite a few more mouths to feed now ,and in another 3 decades the World will have to produce 40% more food to feed itself .any idea's how you are going to do it ?

    Well you could start by farming the 900 million hectares of arable land in Africa, but that would require political stability.

    You could also return the land taken for biodiesel and return it to food crops. Seaweed farming can replace it for the production of carbon neutral biofuels.
