Say no to GM contamination

'Coexistence' is European Commission language, used to describe their harmonious vision of growing GM crops with non-GM and organic crops. Unfortunately the UK Government is planning weak coexistence measures thereby allowing the widespread contamination of non-GM crops and seeds.

England & Northern Ireland

In England and Northern Ireland, the public have already been consulted on the issue. We were delighted that thousands of people sent in their objections to the proposals before the consultations closed. But even though the consultations have closed, you can still take action.

Ask people to send their MP our new postcard

Our new postcard (PDF† - 1.7MB) urges the Government to protect our food and farming from GM contamination. We want to get as many members of the public as possible to send it to their MP. Please contact us to order free copies.

Write to your MP

It is very important that MPs understand the level of public concern over GM contamination. And as well as public pressure, it is crucial that the Government feels political pressure over the issue. You can contact your MP to tell them your concerns using our web action. Please also send your MP a copy of your response to the consultation.

Wales & Scotland

Separate consultations will take place in Wales and Scotland. We will provide extra information for these consultations when they are launched. To be kept up to date, click on your country on www.stopgmcontamination.org.
