ACB's two-decade legacy

This podcast series marks the 20th anniversary of the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), which traces its humble beginnings from when the organisation was first named the African Centre for Biosafety, to reflect the principle focus in the early years on genetic modification (GM) and biosafety in food and agriculture. Over time, this evolved into working on interconnected issues affecting food sovereignty and biodiversity in Africa, including industrial agriculture, seed and plant variety protection policies laws, farmer seed systems, farmers’ rights, agricultural biodiversity, agroecology, and corporate expansion and control in agriculture and food systems. We invite you to look back with us as we reflect on our rich shared history, with a particular focus on advocating against the encroachment of GM food into our agriculture and food systems.
