Nnimmo Bassey Raises Concerns over Food Colonialism

Nnimmo Bassey has raised concerns over food colonialism in Nigeria, as reported by The Guardian (Nigeria):

A renowned environmentalist and Executive Director of Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), Dr. Nnimmo Bassey has disclosed that the agricultural system practiced in Nigeria has an adverse effect on the climate, saying the system is alien to indigenous farming methods.

Bassey blamed this on attendant features of political and economic colonialism, which he claimed subverted the indigenous practice that was acclaimed to be ecologically friendly.
