To know our food is safe and free from contamination is a fundamental human right. What safeguards exist for most New Zealand consumers standing in a supermarket? How can we change government policy so that safe locally produced organic food is the norm, not the exception?
With your help we will continue to campaign for nutrient-rich, organic food, saying no to GE, pesticides or synthetic additives, and yes to Country of Origin Labelling, and yes to a sustainable New Zealand.
