Title: Keith Johnson

We urge Congress to reject GM crops as hazardous & contrary to the interest of farmers/citizens. We call for the immediate suspension of all releases of GM crops & products for at least 5 years; for patents  on living processes, organisms, seeds, cell lines & genes to be revoked & banned; for a comprehensive public enquiry into the future of agriculture & food security. http://tinyurl.com/4q4n7ss

Open Letter from World Scientists to All Governments Concerning Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

• The scientists are extremely concerned about the hazards of GMOs to biodiversity, food safety, human and animal health, and demand a moratorium on environmental releases in accordance with the precautionary principle.
• They are opposed to GM crops that will intensify corporate monopoly, exacerbate inequality and prevent the essential shift to sustainable agriculture that can provide food security and health around the world.
• They call for a ban on patents of life-forms and living processes which threaten food security, sanction biopiracy of indigenous knowledge and genetic resources and violate basic human rights and dignity.
• They want more support on research and development of non-corporate, sustainable agriculture that can benefit family farmers all over the world.
