Anuradha Mittal on AlterNet.org

AlterNet.org, an online alternative news source and part of the 
Independent Media Institute,invites you to learn more about the 
controversy surrounding genetically modified foods.

The UNDP's recent Human Development Report asserts that genetically 
modified seeds can be an important tool in the effort to reduce hunger 
and malnutrition in developing countries. The report claims that 
opposition to GMOs eminates primarily from activists in the developed 
countries, and irresponsibly overlooks the needs of poor farmers in the 
third world.

Read a response to this report by Anuradha Mittal, co-director of Food 
First and a citizen of India, as she debunks the notion that developing 
countries are not part of the global resistence to genetic modification.

Also find links to the UNDP's report and an article that supports it, a 
Food First report on why GMOs wont feed the world, a simple explanation 
of the science behind GMOs, and a short video clip with interviews of 
leading experts, including Anuradha Mittal. Then log on to AlterNet's 
discussion forum and speak your mind.
