CEFSAR stands for the Center for Food Safety and Agricultural Research.
Their core mission focuses on:
- Preserving Nigeria's native seed varieties
- Conducting research on sustainable agriculture practices
- Promoting agroecological farming systems.
They act as a think tank and advocacy group, collaborating with academics and pushing for investments in truly local, sustainable agriculture. CEFSAR is especially vocal in opposing GMOs (genetically modified organisms), viewing them as a major threat to:
- National food sovereignty and security
- Biodiversity and farmer independence
- Public health (citing links to rising chronic illnesses, glyphosate/cancer risks, and corporate control via seed patents and dependency)
Key highlights from their work:
- They actively participated in National Assembly GMO hearings (e.g., November 2024), presenting expert views and calling for a total ban.
- Ongoing campaigns with hashtags like #BanGMOImmediately, #SayNotoGMO, #FoodSovereignty, and #cefsar.
- Sharing expert clips, professor insights, and warnings about foreign influence (e.g., corporate monopolies like Monsanto/Bayer, Bill Gates-linked initiatives).
- Emphasizing alternatives: local seeds, agroecology, and food as medicine over industrial/chemical-dependent systems.
