GMO’s, Italy: an ethical label to help consumers
by S. C.
The Minister of agricultural food and forestry re-addresses the Gmo issue, launching the idea of an ethical label that guarantees both the consumers and the producers adverse to Gmo products…
…”I ask the supporters of the Frankenstein’s revolution, Zaia declares, if the Italian products abroad are more known for their differences, and therefore for the biodiversity that is at its base, or for the homologation. And I ask if a process that irreversibly would make us equal to all the Countries that do not have quality agriculture would enable us, also from the economic point of view, to help our agricultural enterprises. I want to underline that Gmo’s are not the answer to a market where ours foods are confronted with those sold at very low prices because produced in Countries that pay their labourers two euro per day, like India, or five euro per day, like China. The answer to these problems is serious policy that impose traceability and labelling of the agrifood products”.
