GM Free Campaign

Friends of the Earth is starting soon in Hammersmith and Fulham a GM Free Campaign - next year is a crucial decision making time.

Decisions will soon be made about the future of genetically modified (GM) crops in Britain. The Government is under pressure to allow:

- Commercial planting of GM crops
- Imports of GM food from the US and elsewhere

According to Friends of the Earth, at the moment, people have the right to choose GM-free. But if the GM floodgates are opened it will be impossible to guarantee that organic food or locally grown produce is GM-free.

There are lots of opportunities to take action including letter writing, GM stalls asking people to sign petitions, convincing businesses to go GM free, writing press releases to publicity stunts.
