National Food Strategy

24 Oct 2019

GM Freeze submission to the open Call for Evidence for the proposed new National Food Strategy, in which we propose:

• High standards achieved through robust regulation of the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
• Informed choice through clear consumer labelling and meaningful public engagement that values lay contributions and incorporates social, ethical and economic impacts alongside scientific analysis.
• Value and protect genetic diversity by discouraging monoculture and opposing the patenting of genetic resources.
• Address root problems within the food and farming system, rather than treating the symptoms.
