GM Potato Protest:12 Noon, Sunday July 1st - Girton, Cambridgeshire

spudhead | 15.06.2007 14:12 | Bio-technology | Ecology

It's not too late to stop GM spuds. Join us for a walk to see the trial site and a protest picnic...

Bring costumes, families, footwear and clothing for a country stroll and your favourite potato-based dish. Starting from Girton Parish Church, Girton, Cambridgeshire.

Following extensive local and national resistance, BASF (the company trialing the GM potatoes), announced that they will not be conducting a GM potato trial near Hull this year. This means the BASF/NIAB site in Cambridge (planted around the beginning of May) is now the only location in Britain where GM crops are contaminating the countryside…

One down, one to go - let’s keep Britain GM free!

See www.mutatoes.org for directions and more detailed information on the campaign.
