The African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) has made a submission to the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC)’s national investigative hearing into the food systems of South Africa.
The submission addresses critical concerns regarding the governance, approval, and proliferation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and associated herbicides in South Africa. It highlights systemic deficiencies in the biosafety and administrative framework, which have significant implications for Constitutional rights, including the rights to health, life, human dignity, food, access to information, and an environment not harmful to health or well-being.
