Gene Editing and The Right to Choose - Protecting NZ's GE-Free Food and Exports

Details

Rock The Vote NZ presents Jon Carapiet from GE-Free NZ on "Gene Editing and The Right to Choose - Protecting NZ's GE-Free Food and Exports"

What happens if NZ allows unregulated gene-edited plants, animals, bacteria & fungi into the environment? That is what the Gene Technology Bill will do.

Find out about the risks of new food allergens, disruption of the gut biome, harm to bees and natural systems, and the threat to NZ's export advantage as a non-GMO producer.

How will farmers know what they are producing? How will consumers know what they are eating? What can we do about it?

Jon Carapiet is a researcher, consumer advocate & spokesman for the Auckland GE-Free Coalition of GE-Free NZ

Door $15
Tea & coffee available.
Please arrive a little earlier and be seated by 2pm for Jon’s presentation.
We hope you can join us!
