Call for Participation
2010 will be a decisive year for the future of genetically modified organisms in European agriculture and food. New approvals for the cultivation of GMOs and new legislative proposals by the European Commission are pending.
Over the past years the GMO-Free movement has continuously expanded, increased and diversified all across Europe and well beyond. On September 16 at our session in the European Parliament we will present our demands and successes to the public and to institutions in Brussels and discuss their plans. A special focus will be on the upcoming reform of the European Unions Common Agricultural Policy and its implications for regional development. For two days we will then retreat to Ghent for exchanging experiences, ideas and strategies, for discussing the challenges ahead and for preparing joint activities on GMOs as well as related issues.
We invite representatives from formal and informal GMO-free regions, GMO-free initiatives and activists on related issues from all over Europe. Breeders and seed exchangers, farmers, bee-keepers, gmo-free traders, processors and retailers as well as consumers, critical scientists and environmental activists are welcome. Interested in being a part of the planning and helping to determine the agenda?
