\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
 Africa is being identified as food basket in the turn of the 21\textsuperscript{st} century. This has led to another scramble for the resources of the continent in a guise of food security and sustainable development. Through questionable liberal theory, Africa is seeing as a centre where food could be produced and export to developed states without twin concepts of value added and beneficiation to the host states. This approach is accompanied by mass displacement of indigenous peoples, unfair/unsustainable use of natural resources, destabilisation of ecosystem and violation of the second and third generation of human rights. Introduction of genetically modified (GMO) plants and animals further compromise organic healthy food known to Africans; and the same compromise clean environment in the continent. It is being postulated by anti-GMO that the recent environmental degradation and failure of crops in Africa may be attributed to the sympathetic agricultural system imposed on the continent in the guise of globalisation. This, as some opined, erode socio"=cultural orientation in Africa, and by implication, affecting what to produce, where to produce and when to produce known food as a means of security for the African heritage. Impacts of multinational corporations that specialise in food production and relevant services shall be academically interrogated. In doing this activities of non"=governmental organisations in destabilising social fabric of many nation on the continent shall be equally discussed. It is the aim of this paper to interrogate these labyrinth problems through critical theoretical perspective in examining the social and cultural implications of large scale farming in Africa.  }
