Bt eggplants in the Philippines
Since 1999 GENET collects and distributes information on various topics in the field of genetic engineering in agriculture, food production and health.

Stopping genetically engineered crops in the Philippines
These past few months have been a whirlwind of forums and meetings with different groups including NGOs, the church, farmers, students, women, organic traders etc. - all because of the plans to commercialise Monsanto's Bt eggplant in the Philippines by 2011 even after India has rejected it. The Philippines is a country that has a very favourable policy in approving geneticalling engineered crops. Even the regulatory process is biased towards approving them since it is not an application process but an approval process for commercial release.
