Health and GMO, World Scientists concerned

[Guest guest]

Ayurvedists should be more concerned with epidemical proportion of

diseases/patients, and root causes.

 

Open Letter from World Scientists to All Governments Concerning Genetically

Modified Organisms (GMOs) The scientists are extremely concerned about the

hazards of GMOs to biodiversity, food safety, human and animal health, and

demand a moratorium on environmental releases in accordance with the

precautionary principle.

 

They are opposed to GM crops that will intensify corporate monopoly,

exacerbate inequality and prevent the essential shift to sustainable agriculture

that can provide food security and health around the world.

 

They call for a ban on patents of life-forms and living processes which

threaten food security, sanction biopiracy of indigenous knowledge and genetic

resources and violate basic human rights and dignity.

 

They want more support on research and development of non-corporate,

sustainable agriculture that can benefit family farmers all over the world.
