The Campaign has launched an ACTION ALERT in response to a leaked memo

showing that at a United Nations meeting this week in Bangkok, the

Canadian government will attempt to overturn an international

moratorium on TERMINATOR seed technology:

The ACTION ALERT allows you to send an instant e-mail to the following

Canadian officials:

1) Prime Minister

2) Hon. Andy , Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food

3) F.B. Fadden, President, Canadian Food Inspection Agency

Terminator seeds are genetically engineered to be sterile and thereby

prevent farmers from saving seed. This is an extremely risky and

controversial technology. Some scientists worry about what could

happen if the terminator is unleashed on the environment. They fear

that terminator technology could migrate from one farm to another, or

from a farm to wild plants. And activists in developing nations are

concerned that the technology would put too much power in the hands of

a few international agribusinesses.
