truefood network - Urgent True Food Action!
The Australian Government is trying to clear the way for terminator technology - help stop them!
Terminator seeds are genetically engineered to be sterile. They have been developed by the multinational seed/agrochemical industry and the United States government to prevent farmers from saving and re-planting harvested seed.
There is currently a de facto ban on Terminator under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), however the Australian Government is leading a push to undermine this moratorium. We need your help to stop them. Click here to tak! e action (http://www.banterminator.org/australia)
Terminator has been universally condemned because of its serious potential impacts for farmers, Indigenous peoples, food security and biodiversity. The technology has no benefits for farmers. Instead, it is designed to transfer wealth from farmers to large agribusiness by preventing farmers from saving and re-using harvested seed.

From 20th 31st March 2006, the Terminator moratorium will be up for discussion at a meeting of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Brazil.
In the lead up meetings, the Australian delegation played an aggressive role lobbying to undermine the defacto ban on Terminator. Now is the time to send a clear signal to the Australian Agriculture Minister that Australians support a! ban on Terminator Technology.
Click here to send an email to Peter McGauran, Australias agriculture minister.
Why not also take a few minutes to phone his office and ask that Australia support a ban on Terminator at the upcoming CBD meeting?

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

Please forward this email to your friends and networks.
With your help we can stop the development of terminator technology, and help point food and farming in the right direction towards sustainable agriculture, where real food is grown by real farmers not by agrichemical corporations.
Yours for True Food!
