Podcast: Is genetic engineering a danger for organic farming?

We say no to genetic engineering! Genetic engineering is taboo in the organic sector, yet the EU is discussing softening the labelling of new genetic engineering. What will it mean for the organic sector if the proposal is approved?

As a trained horticulturist and consultant for organic agriculture and horticulture, Jan Plagge knows exactly what is at stake in practice and what risks the new genetic engineering harbours for organic farming. Today, he is campaigning in Brussels for consistent regulation of new genetic engineering. He can talk about what's going on in the EU in Brussels and categorise the current situation.
