🇦🇹 Did you know Austria was the first country to launch a Non-GMO label—driven by citizen demand?
In 1997, 1.23M people (1/4 of voters!) signed a referendum against GMOs.
Today, entire sectors like dairy, eggs & poultry are Non-GMO. A model for Europe?

Organic farmers help keep our food, soil & ecosystems healthy 👩‍🌾🌱
🚫 Did you know? #GMOs, old and new, are banned in #organicfarming.
That’s why the #organic sector backs strong GMO traceability & labelling.

In addition, farmers are facing more problems: Scrapping safety rules for NGT crops will cause a flood of patented crops, harming farmers and benefiting a few big biotech corporations. #Nopatentonseeds
Dear Mr Canfin, as Shadow, will you strongly defend the EP position to opposing patents on crops?

This finding may seem surprising. Only 3 GMOs/NGTs are currently being cultivated and their harvest commercialized. The many promises of their benefits would suggest that these “miracle” products would have been more widely adopted. Clearly, this is not the case. infogm.org/en/only-thre...
