Greenpeace response to consultation on proposals for managing the coexistence of GM, conventional and organic crops

Publication date: 16 October 2006

Summary

The government has published its proposals for managing the coexitence of GM, conventional and organic crops within the UK.

Our position is that the proposals legitimise contamination of organic and conventional crops by GM varieties, putting farmers' livelihoods at risk, endangering public health, and removing the ability of consumers to choose food that is free from GM contamination.
