GMOs will not solve hunger, but will make it worse
16 July 2004


A coalition of international mainstream environmental, consumer and farmer groups today condemned the aggressive promotion of GMOs as a solution to hunger in the world.

The condemnation was made public following an international conference held from 15 to 16 July in Maputo, Mozambique on the topic of hunger, food aid and GMOs. The Conference gathered over 100 representatives from more than 20 countries from Europe, America, Asia and Africa.

The coalition was particularly critical of the UN body on Food and Agriculture (FAO) for its lenient report biased towards the multinationals as opposed to farmers and consumers interests. The report presents GMOs as a key mechanism to ending hunger and to improving food security in Africa and the rest of the world.

«Not only GMOs will not solve the problem of hunger, but they will worsen and complicate the hunger issue even further», said the coalition. «FAO, through the publication of its biased report, has betrayed the interest of farmers and consumers worldwide».

The safety of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has not been established beyond doubt and experience shows that the production of GMOs only satisfies the interest of a minority of big biotech corporations.
