Hundreds of Farmers Occupy GMO Tree Approval, Force Cancellation

No Transgenic Eucalyptus (GMO trees) for Brazil, thanks to 300 farmers who took over the building and interrupted the meeting where GMO regulator – Brazil National Biosafety Technical Commission (CTNBio) – was to decide about whether or not to plant biotech’s latest atrocity. These efforts along with over 1000 other activists have halted GMO trees in Brazil – at least for now.
In addition to the sit-in of the 300 farmers, 1000 women across Brazil took over operations of FuturaGene.
