How do most farmers feel?
True Food Network is concerned that farmers are not getting the whole story about GMOs from biotech companies. European and Asian rejection of GMO food has caused U.S. farmers hundreds of millions of dollars in lost exports (1), and with consumer concern rising here, there are more problems for farmers looming. Many family farm organizations are deeply concerned about GMOs making farmers more dependent and less financially secure.(2) (1) Brian Halweil, “An Industry in Trouble,” Yes!, Summer 2000. (2) The American Corn Growers have expressed concern about marketability of GMO crops, see their press releases. The National Family Farm Coalition also actively opposes GMOs.
