About [Edit]
GENET is the European NGO Network on Genetic Engineering. GENET has around 40 members in Europe and cooperates with NGOs and networks from all over the world in their efforts to keep the world GM-FREE!
GENET provides news and articles about GE food and farming and a coordination platform for its members.
GENET supports activities that aim to avoid the introduction of products of gene technology that are not in the interest of consumers or farmers, harm the environment or animals, and conflict with human rights and ethics. By informing interested organisations and individuals it facilitates the citizens` involvement in decision-making processes which have to guide the development of this technology.
GENET wants to lead the global opposition to GM food by bringing together all the citizens and organizations who want the world to eat real food from a truly sustainable agriculture!

STOP (IR)RESPONSIBLE SOY
The Dutch government is playing an active role to have GMO crops accepted and introduced to Europe. Part of this strategy is the financial and political support for the Round Table on Resposible Soy (RTRS). This platform of mostly industry and big producers has set up a very weak standard that gives GM Roundup Ready soy a 'responsible'label. The vast monocultures of this crop are creating huge problems.
