Terminator Technology Threatens farmers, the Environment and Food Security Worldwide |
|
|
|
To get your copy of the leaflet "Say NO to Suicide Seeds" download from the website www.eco-matters.org or email environment@progressio.org.uk or write to Environmental Action, Unit 3, Canonbury Yard, 190a New North Road, London, N1 7BJ. "Multinational agribusiness companies, with the support of some governments, are trying a new PR strategy to make genetically modified (GM) crops acceptable. They are presenting Terminator, a GM technology, as a means of stopping GM Crops from contaminating non-GM crops. However, Terminator will not prevent contamination. The real aim behind Terminator is to prevent farmers from saving seeds and thus increase the sales of agribusiness companies." |

GM courgettes planted in Germany |
|
|
Seminis, a vegetable seed company owned by Monsanto, has admitted that
GMO zucchini (courgettes) have been accidently planted in Germany.
Apparently the company has destroyed the crop. 90 grams of seeds were
imported from the US via Holland. One region of Germany claims that 100
seeds were planted in greenhouses. According to Seminis they are the
largest developer, grower and marketer of fruit and vegetable seeds in
the world. They operate in 150 countries and territories. Earlier this
year they were bought by Monsanto

GM crop contamination may spark review
"The federal and state governments are being urged to consider national
liability laws after canola crops in four states were contaminated with

The West Australian government said the legal framework surrounding the
