GM Freeze is calling on the Government for a Freeze on:
- the growing of genetically modified plants and the production of genetically
modified farm animals for any commercial purpose
- imports of genetically modified foods, plants, farm crops and farm animals,
and produce from genetically modified plants and animals
- the patenting of genetic resources for food and farm crops
The GM Freeze campaign is supported by an alliance of organisations sharing the public's deep concern over the speed at which genetic engineering is being introduced into food and farming. The alliance encompasses a wide range of interests including environmental campaigns, trade unions, development charities and religious groups. They are united by a belief that we must stop and think about the huge implications of this new technology and the questions that remain to be answered about its safety and impact.
GM Freeze is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales No. 5525160. Registered office: 50 South Yorkshire Buildings, Silkstone Common, Barnsley S75 4RJ Tel: 0845 217 8992
