Organic Farmer in Spain

Eduardo Campayo García, organic farmer, and Fernando José Llobell Bisbalborn, President of the La Tierrallana, the association of Organic Consumers in Albacete, pose for Greenpeace as they, with their personal accounts from the field, documented in a Greenpeace report, shed light on some of the disastrous consequences of GE (genetic engineering) contamination, as well as promoting the benefits of switching to organic and ecological agriculture. Ecological farming produces nutritionally rich and chemical-free food, at the same time as protecting biodiversity and nutrient-rich soils. In contrast, the heavy use of chemical herbicides required for GE and conventional agriculture is damaging to crops and the environment.
