Keep GMO food regulated and labelled!

The campaign “Keep GMO food regulated and labelled” gives European citizens the possibility to participate directly in the democratic process by giving resonance to their concerns about losing the right to safe, healthy and transparent food. Furthermore it promotes existing alternatives and really sustainable farming practices which have been well researched like agroecology and permaculture.

We produced an explanatory video on the European commission’s proposal and the threats of deregulating GMOs. Together with partners, we promoted and participated in a public consultation of the European commission which seeked to receive citizens’ and stakeholders’ views on the functioning of the current GMO legislation and lay down the options for a new framework.

WeMove Europe gGmbH alone has collected over 100,000 signatures and altogether the coalition has collected more than 400,000 signatures. In the beginning of 2023, a public manifestation will be organised for the handover of the petition, to send a strong message to the European Commission and EU governments that people all over Europe want to keep GMO foods regulated and that deregulating GMOs would be a huge step backward for farming communities, people and the environment.
