Genetically modified plants are no solution in the fight against hunger, argued Million Belay, coordinator of the pan-African platform Alliance for Food Sovereignty (AFSA). They never were, he added. AFSA promotes biodiversity and ecological land management in Africa and fights against the use of GM seeds. Every time a crisis comes, the international community thinks thats the solution, Belay said. But the problem is not the seeds, its the soil, he said, adding that if you enrich the soil in a natural way then productivity will follow. Its like focusing on the mother, not only on the child: If you feed the mother, the child will be healthy, he said
