From Andrew Taynton, Safe Food Coalition
Christian Aid believes that genetically engineered crops are irrelevant to
ending world hunger, will concentrate power in too few hands, and will strip
small farmers of their independence.
Christian Aid’s Indian research shows that land reform and simple irrigation
can boost crops by 50 per cent. This should be tried in Africa instead of
subjecting this famine-ridden continent to dubious genetically engineered foods
that have not even been sufficiently tested for human safety.

to expect hazards and the risk for their appearance at www.psrast.org/defknfood.htm.
