We organise the GM free Agriculture Day to show that sustainable agriculture and food production without genetic engineering is growing and has potential in the future. There will be workshops, speakers, information stalls, a farmers & seeds market, discussion, kids activities and action.

The choice for Wageningen as our location is not arbitrary: we want to challenge Wageningen University on their biased communications that favour industrial agriculture, on their ties with the chemical and biotech industry, and specifically on their projects with GM apple-trees and potatoes (the DuRPh-project). Part of the programme is a protest visit to the trial fields with the GM crops. Other important themes are seed & food sovereignty, GM free zones, agro-ecology, the struggle against the introduction of GMOs in Europe.
