Irish Missionary Union calls for objection to ’pro-GMO’ Vatican study week
The Irish Missionary Union (IMU) is calling on all members to register their objection to a GMO Study Week in Rome for being one-sided. The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences is organising a study week in May on ”Transgenic Plants for Food Security in the Context of Development”. According to the brochure, the idea of the conference is to explore arguments as to why food security for the poor needs efficient access to GM-technology and why ’extreme precautionary regulation’ is unjustified.
