Anyone who thinks it will be possible to provide consumer choice by attempting to keep the GM and GM-free elements of the food chain separate would do well to read the advice below to US farmers in Indiana on GM free marketing.

Amongst others it includes the following poignant excerpts:

"I expect that next year there will continue to be marketing opportunities for non-GMO crops with premiums.......However, even non-GMO crops will likely never be completely free of GMO germplasm."

"...............the issues concerning har-vesting, handling, storage and delivery of genetically modified crops this season adds up to a high stakes legal problem for everyone involved."

There is only one way to guarantee GM free food - and that is to ban GM food globally; period.
