Planet Diversity will open on May 12 with a demonstration for biological diversity – regional, fair and GMO-free! Supported by many groups and organizations, including Women and Life on Earth e.V., the demonstration will bring the following demands to delegates of the UN Biosafety Protocol:
- for the human right to adequate, diverse and healthy food – against the misuse of agriculture for agro-fuel, and other raw materials for international speculation;
- for the right of consumers and farmers to decide – against genetic experiments with our food and our environment;
- for the free exchange of seeds and agricultural know-how – against patents on life forms and bio-piracy;
- for the preservation of regional diversity – against agro-industrial monocultures and the worldwide death of farmers;
- for biological diversity – regional, fair and GMO-free!
