GMO OMG!
Issue 7, Fall 2013
With GMO labeling taking center stage on the Washington State ballot this fall we made the focus of this issue on GMOs and social justice, covering, the incredible power Monsanto has over our food supply and political system, how GMOs affect all of us as consumers and producers, and the fight for transparency in food labeling with our feature article by Jeremy Siefert, Director / Producer / Editor of the new film GMO OMG. Women farmers in Nicaragua talk about how they are empowering themselves to stand up against multinationals like Monsanto. Also, Equal Exchange talks about transforming the Tea Industry from a plantation model to a small-farmer owned model. And as always included is our trade policy reform corner which focuses on Fair Trade & Immigration and Land Grabs.
