Citizens of the world decided to celebrate 2008 as a Ban-GMOs Year, in a series of information events happening around the world, including a People's No GE Day on the 8th of April.

2008 is the right time to react globally to a small subset of businessmen, scientists and politicians - a coalition which only serves itself, as it tries to take over our staple foods, as it wrongly develops agro-fuels at the expense of small farmers and rainforests, as its only response to all the expected genetic contamination is to keep native seeds frozen in a Doomsday seed Vault (to be launched in March 2008).

Despite many unexplained health issues, despite unpredictable consequences of ongoing contamination of natural ecosystems, despite the reduction in healthy soil bacteria in industrial agriculture, they are still allowing the GM contamination of natural seeds. As long as we cannot stop the wind blowing, GMOs must be banned from our fields. 

GM plants are one drop too many in the overflowing tank of industrial agriculture, the principles underlying which must be replaced by sustainable ones if we are to save the planet.

Let's make that change happen in 2008!
