Non-GMO acreage

Non-GMO acreage
Vision: Increase non-gmo acreage in the region.

• Work plan ideas: 1) recognize mainstream farming culture accepts GMO 2) focus on market pull of consumers voting for non-GMO and influencing the market like they have with rBGH 3) collect and share success stories and market data to make the case 4) add to other FFNet initiatives as a related issue, e.g. a reason for aforementioned seed saving directory
• Next step: Oryana Natural Foods Market initiative, now starting, to encourage non-gmo soybean production in region to supply organic livestock producers.
