About this listen

In this episode, Million Belay speaks with Mariam Mayet, founder of the African Centre for Biodiversity, about Africa’s decades-long resistance to GMOs and corporate control of food systems. They trace the history of anti-GMO activism, the rise of philanthrocapitalism, and the failures of industrial agriculture across the continent. Mariam shares powerful insights on protecting Africa’s seed sovereignty and why agroecology rooted in traditional knowledge and small-scale farming is the continent’s path to a just, sustainable, and self-reliant food future.
