Summary

The government has published its proposals for managing the coexistence of GM, conventional and organic crops within the UK.

Our position is that the proposals legitimise contamination of organic and conventional crops by GM varieties, putting farmers' livelihoods at risk, endangering public health, and removing the ability of consumers to choose food that is free from GM contamination.

Government's GM advisors fail to answer the ultimate GM riddle

A new Government report on 'coexistence' designed to examine whether GM crops can be grown without contaminating non-GM and organic crops has failed to answer this crucial question. The report published today (Tuesday) by the Agriculture and Environment Biotechnology Commission (AEBC) also looks at who should foot the bill if something goes wrong. 'GM Crops? Coexistence and Liability ' is the Government's final piece of evidence in helping decide whether or not GM crops are to be grown commercially in the UK.
