What you can do
- If you are a European citizen, join Stop the Crop, the anti-GMO campaign, to make your voice heard
- Ask your government to ban the cultivation of GMO-containing foods. Join up with organizations in your area working.
- Educate your community: Hold film screenings, discussions or conferences on the issue to inform your community members on the threats of GMOs.
- If GMO-containing foods are already in your country, ask for them to be labeled: tell your government you want the right to know what’s in your food.
- Avoid processed foods: While in some countries produce can be GMOs, they are mostly found in processed foods containing corn and soy.
- Buy from small-scale local farmers: This is less likely to be GMOs and easier to ask origin and production methods of your food.
- Ask! Call the producer/manufacturer of your favorite foods and ask if they use GM-containing products, ask at your local stores and markets if they stock them. Let producers and retailers know how you feel about GMOs!
