you probably saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_crops. you could somehow build the article around the stakeholders and what they gain and loose, if they are heard or not. some stakeholders and the reason for beeing one:
patent holder (like monsanto), invents it, get patent fees from farmers law maker (member of parliament), government, decides the usage, may get money from lobbyists, may work for monsanto research institution, researcher, may get funding from monsanto, make studies, invents farmer, uses it, may get higher yield, may use monsanto herbicide as his crop is resitant to it, may ge sued by monsanto for patent infringement consumer, eats it, may want a label, two cases: (1) is modified: e.g. genetically modified rice sold, (2) modified crop used: chicken feed with genetically modified beans

Perhaps the title of the article should be without the word controversy. That's what I'm thinking. Went through and its got a good start.
I'm good for the hangout chat too. When is it happening.

It's been a while I created a Wikipedia article so I went for the GMO controversy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_organism_controversy_(Ghana)
Hopefully it will be allowed to stand alone and not merged with any other international GMO discussion.
Nonetheless, I am inviting one of you to review it. Here is howhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reviewing .
I am also holding a hangout on how the whole process went down for new editors. Email me if interested.
