Help us challenge the lies about GM
Please donate to our 'GM NO!' campaign and help us build a sustainable, organic food future for us all.
Powerful forces are trying to persuade the public that there is no alternative to GM crops if we are to feed the world's population in the future. In June, scientists began growing genetically modified potatoes in Norfolk. The Government appears to think this represents the future for food and farming - continuing to invest tax payers' cash on this outdated technology.
What we're up against:
- The public have been lied to over the need to double food production by 2050.
- A sham 'consultation' on GM from our Food Standards Agency has seen two of its steering group resign, claiming it had been hijacked for 'GM propaganda'.
- The GM potato trial in Norfolk begs the question about what GM technology is actually for.
Why we need your support:
- To counter the arguments that GM can feed the world.
- To call for the Food Standards Agency to stop wasting money on what has become a PR exercise for GM food.
- To build on the evidence base which proves organic farming is the way forward in the face of climate change.
- To make the case for sustainable farming in the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in 2013.
- To raise serious questions about how we feed our farm animals, building on previous Soil Association reports which have already shown how GM feed is entering our UK food chain.
There is an alternative way to feeding the world's growing population a healthy and sustainable diet. Please support our 'GM NO!' campaign and help us build a sustainable, organic food future for us all.
