People who can open to the web of life that called us into being, and who can rest in the vitality of that larger body. During the year since the genetiX snowball campaign began, the weight of evidence for the failures and dangers of GM crops has grown ever heavier. Yet genetic pollution continues to threaten the environment and public health.
Biotechnology companies continue to threaten the security of the global food supply.
Furthermore, this year has seen no significant progress towards a full moratorium, nor has the public will been manifested in government regulation or corporate practice. The public response to GM crops seem to be pointing to a complete ban. Even so, I believe it is necessary to explore all sides of the arguments including a thorough independent assessment of GM crops, assessing whether they are needed, wanted and safe. A participant of genetiX snowball has been to India to establish direct communication with Indian farmers. The resulting information has confirmed to me their vulnerability in the face of corporate domination of agriculture in their country via seed monopolies and GM crops.
