Equity and The Peasants ProtectTheWilderness

In doing so they have discriminated against us and our beliefs as a socio-economically deprived group.

Bakers, retailers, growers and grassroots food campaigners threw down the gauntlet today over the controversial trialling of Genetically Modified wheat in the open air this spring.
