For Greenpeace, agriculture must be ecologically and socially sustainable. We envision an agricultural system in which biodiversity is sustained; in which food is grown locally by people for people; in which access to safe, nutritious and affordable food is ensured as a human right; and in which farmers are recognized as the custodians of biodiversity.  

With that aim, Greenpeace is taking a clear stand against genetically engineered (GE) foods and the corporate control of our food supply. Greenpeace believes that GE crops threaten both our planet's biodiversity and local control of food production. Greenpeace is asking for international and national governments to take strong action to stop the spread of GE crops around the world.
