Network of Concerned Farmers
: The "Network of Concerned Farmers" is an Australia wide network of conventional and organic farmers who are concerned about the economic, environmental and social impacts of genetically modified crops.
Our concerns about GM canola relate to: impact on the non-GM growers, costs and liability, contamination and loss of markets for all agricultural produce, herbicide resistance, environmental impacts, patents and corporate control of farming.
Our role is to provide independent, practical, detailed and accurate information to farmers and the broader community on all issues related to GM crops.
The Network aims to protect the rights of farmers to continue to grow and market uncontaminated crops by ensuring the GM industry is responsible for containment of their product and all associated costs and liabilities (not the non-GM grower as proposed). Until legislation adequately protects existing farmers and sustainability, we will not accept the introduction of GM crops. The NCF is nationally recognised as a credible voice on GM issues.
