A rainbow coalition of NGOs has supported GM Freeze's formal objection to Rothamsted Research's recent application for permission to conduct an open-field GM wheat trial in the UK.
GM Freeze has submitted a 'multi-agency objection' to the application by Rothamsted Research for an open-air GM wheat trial. The objection was signed by 30 member and non-member organisations, including Sustain's Real Bread Campaign, the Soil Association, and Mums Say No to GMOs. GM Freeze also knows of at least another 10 individual objections made by its supporters.
Sustain member GM Freeze is the umbrella campaign for a moratorium on GM in food and farming in the UK.
The detailed objection is available here, and GM Freeze now asks supporters to disseminate it as widely as possible.
