Re: STATUS of GMO Legislation:

Bill 113, Draft 2 (MW Bill) Prohibits Open Air Genetically Engineered Crops and Plants.

 

So the question is do you want this island  to become one more GMO dominated island with increasing domination by multinational chemical corporations, or do we take advantage of the opportunity to be a model of non-GMO crops and seed production with an emphasis on eco-friendly ag practices and policies? Let us hear from you.
