In recent years, a handful of multinational chemical companies have engineered new kinds of crops that could never occur in nature. These include corn that produces its own insecticide and canola immune to toxic sprays. Our food is under threat.
In 2008, Australia's first commercial genetically engineered (GE) canola crops were grown in NSW and Victoria.
In this briefing we take six of the GE industry’s biggest greenwash statements and show the reality behind the growing and consumption of GE canola. Further, the analysis we show proves beyond a doubt that the best option for farmers, beekeepers, governments, food companies and
consumers is to reject GE canola.
