CREATING A GE-FREE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

 

It's official: Mendocino County California has approved a ballot

initiative that will allow voters to choose whether or not the County

should ban genetically modified crops. Mendocino County's

agricultural income is strongly rooted in organics, and local

farmers are concerned about decreased revenues, due to possible

contamination from neighboring GE crops. The vote will be held March

2, 2004 and would make the county the first in the U.S. to pass an

anti-GMO resolution. Stay tuned to the OCA for further updates. The

OCA is also working with activists in several other California

counties (Humboldt, Marin, Sonoma) who are interested in joining

Mendocino and creating, in effect, a GE-Free Northern California.
