The genetic engineering of food crops is an
ecological hazard and health crisis that affects us all. Its consequences
are global and potentially irrevocable. Yet the decision to use
genetically modified organisms is currently being made for you by
the government and major multinational corporations. To combat this
practice, more than 600 scientists from 72 countries have called
for a moratorium on the environmental release of GMOs. GMO Free
is the most comprehensive resource available on the science behind
this worldwide debate.
GMO Free takes a good look at the evidence
scientists have compiled, and makes a strong case for a worldwide
ban on GMO crops, to make way for a shift to sustainable agriculture
and organic farming. It's time to take the future of your food supply
and environment into your own informed hands. GMO Free will
give you the information you need to do so.
