The Genetic Engineering Policy Alliance
Posted by Susan Ponsolle on 02-15-07
The Genetic Engineering Policy Alliance is a network of organizations and individuals promoting precautionary policies on genetically engineered food and agriculture. The Alliance includes representation from agriculture, consumer, health, faith, labor, environmental, social justice and business sectors. We are united in our concern about the impacts of genetically engineered crops and foods on agriculture, the public, and the environment.
The Genetic Engineering Policy Alliance works to…
- Protect farmers in California from economic loss due to unwanted contamination from genetically engineered crops.
- Promote the public’s right-to-know about the presence of genetically engineered crops in our food and agriculture.
- Safeguard the environment and public health from damage due to exposure to genetically engineered crops and food.
Our Genetic Engineering Policy Platform provides the foundation for the development of statewide policies that will protect against the most dangerous GE crops, provide access to information so that farmers and consumers may make wise choices for themselves and their families, and provide recourse if unintended harms occur.
