BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

This is your chance to celebrate organic food and show your opposition to GM crops in this country.

The Victorian Government is the major sponsor of ABIC 2006, conference topics include:
~public attitudes to genetic engineering
~how the GE industry can convince a sceptical public to accept commercialisation of GE crops and foods.

GE crops and foods are unnatural, unnecessary and unwanted. It's time the State Goverment took note, if you can't make it to the Fiesta but are concerned be sure to raise the issue with your local pollie:
