We won against GMOs in Friuli

receive from Green Peace September 27

we did, we stopped GMOs. The magistrate of Pordenone has established a fine of € 25 thousand for George Fiden - the farmer who planted illegally Friulian GM maize - and the destruction of GM field of Fanna. After complaints, laboratory testing, our activists in action to stop the contamination, is now finally back in Friuli the law and put the bases to put an end to this absurd, irresponsible and illegal, which had lasted for months.


In Friuli it all began in April, when it was Fiden autodenunciato to have sown, he said, six plants of GM maize. In fact, there were seeded two full fields, all with illegal GM maize. It took an intense campaign of Greenpeace and groups who care about Italian food for the move is to urge politicians to act. Eventually we reached the goal!

The Italian agricultural system, which is based on small crops of quality, would be put completely in the knee by a green light to GMO. We decided to hold a conference under the Fair Rice Isola della Scala in Verona, to reflect on the importance of safeguarding the Italian agriculture , starting with the rice. We invite you to the meeting that be held on Thursday 30 September at 18.00 , Auditorium Mary Magdalene (Isola della Scala, Verona).

Even in Europe there is much to be done to prevent GM contamination, and it is essential to improve the procedure for the safety evaluation of GMOs, still insufficient. collect a million signatures, citizens can formally ask the European Commission to a future free from GMOs. We're almost there. Very little missing million. A few sign ... it could be yours!

Thanks!
