Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 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. http://www.organicconsumers.org/ge/california_initiative.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
