21. What does the UN say about GMOs?

"The food and agriculture organization (FAO) of the United Nations has warned Uganda against the use of genetically modified organisms. They are not needed to improve food production and are unsuitable for countries like Uganda."

http://www.gmeducation.org/government-and-corporations/p207350-un-s-food-and-agriculture-organisation-issues-gmo-warning.html

"Even as the United States government continues to push for the use of more chemically-intensive and corporate-dominated farming methods such as GMOs and monoculture-based crops, the United Nations is once against sounding the alarm about the urgent need to return to (and develop) a more sustainable, natural and organic system.

"That was the key point of a new publication from the UN Commission on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) titled “Trade and Environment Review 2013: Wake Up Before It’s Too Late,” which included contributions from more than 60 experts around the world.

The cover of the report looks like that of a blockbuster documentary or Hollywood movie, and the dramatic nature of the title cannot be understated: The time is now to switch back to our natural farming roots."
