THE Philippine Network of Food Security Programmes (PNFSP), along with the Negros Rural Assistance Program Inc., supports the implementation of the memorandum of agreement on the establishment of the ”Negros Organic Island” and Negros Occidental’s provincial ordinance (passed on April 25, 2007) banning the entry, planting, transport and selling of GMOs, both living and non-living. GMOs have been touted as the solution to hunger, but it is not a feasible solution. In Negros Occidental, hunger is being worsened by the recurrent ”Tiempos Muertos” or the yearly off-milling season.
