GMO Rice Stalks Action in Philippines

Greenpeace activists hang post-harvest rice stalks at the Philippines’ Department of Agriculture in Manila, with messages that read “Keep Our Rice GMO-Free.” Greenpeace is reminding the government to keep the country's rice supply free of risky contamination from genetically modified (GMO) varieties. The peaceful protest, on the eve of World Consumer Rights Day, is part of Greenpeace's on-going campaign to protect rice from contamination. GMOs pose risks to consumer health, the environment, and farmers’ livelihoods.
