The EU is ready to roll back GMO regulations.

This could open the gates for Bayer to flood Europe’s food system with
unlabelled GMOs – stripping people of their right to choose and to know
what ends up on their plates.

But there’s still time to stop this – EU leaders will negotiate the final
details in September, and with massive public pressure, we could tip the
balance. Join now:

John,

The EU is on the verge of handing a huge win to GMO giants like Bayer – by
stripping away rules that require many genetically modified foods to be
clearly labelled and tracked. No labels means no way to choose what ends
up on our plates, on our fields and supermarket shelves.

The EU has long been a global leader on food safety. If it caves now
it could set a dangerous precedent, one that opens the floodgates for
hidden GMOs worldwide and even greater corporate control of our food.

But we still have time. In the next months, the European Parliament will
enter final negotiations with EU governments – and they’re pushing to keep
GMO labelling and safety checks. Let’s show EU decision-makers that people
around the world are watching, and we won’t allow corporate giants to push
unlabelled genetically modified foods.

Bayer and Syngenta have been lobbying hard to roll back labelling rules by
claiming that a new type of GMO, called New Genomic Techniques (NGTs),
should be treated differently. They say they’ll do wonders for farmers but
the truth is that agrichemical corporations hold patents on NGT
technologies and the resulting genetically edited seeds. Those patents
give corporations rights over seeds, allowing them to control who can use
them and under what terms – through licensing fees or restrictions on seed
saving.  

That's why labelling is so important. It protects our health, our
environment, and our right to choose. Without clear labels, farmers could
plant GMOs unknowingly, shops could sell them unknowingly, and we could
all end up eating them without a clue.  And it hands power to biotech
corporations, giving them a free pass to flood our food system, all in the
name of profit.

But together we can stop it. If we build a massive wave of public
resistance right now, EU governments will be forced to listen, and pick
people and food safety over GMO lobbyists.

transparent food.

Challenging big businesses and industries is Ekō’s bread and butter –
together, we’ve stopped pesticides poisoning European crops. Today, we can
demand safe and transparent foods in the EU! Are you in?
