Reject Genetically Engineered Alfalfa

Protect Organic Food! Support Organic Farmers!

Stop GE Alfalfa! Take Action before March 3rd, 2010!

The U.S. will approve Monsanto's genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa unless we stop them. Organic food and farming in the U.S. and Canada is under immediate threat.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has released its draft Environmental Impact Statement on GE alfalfa and is accepting comments until end of day March 3rd, 2010.
They say:

- Contamination of organic food from GE alfalfa will happen but it doesn't really matter.

- Consumers don't care if organic food is contaminated with GE alfalfa.

- GE alfalfa will result in fewer small farmers and fewer organic farmers but that's okay.

Tell the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) you DO care about organic food and organic farmers!

Organic farming bans the use of genetically engineered organisms. Stop Monsanto from destroying organic farming in the U.S. and Canada! Submit a letter at regulations.gov.

We also invite all organizations, producer associations, companies, and community groups to endorse the "No to GE Alfalfa" campaign by signing on the statement opposing GE alfalfa in Canada. Go here to sign on.
