Excitement is building as Oregon gears up to get GMO labeling on the ballot this summer. Food justice advocates have launched a powerful statewide Right to Know GMO campaign. We do have a right to know what\u2019s in our food, so we can make our own decisions about what we eat and feed our families.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, trade negotiators are meeting in secret on a free trade agreement that could jeopardize these efforts. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) threatens to pull the rug out from under any policies to regulate GMO foods.<\/p>\n

The TPP is a massive free trade agreement currently being negotiated between the U.S and eleven other countries in the Pacific Rim. And guess who is at the negotiating table? Former lobbyist for Monsanto, Islam Siggique is the chief U.S. Negotiator for the TPP’s chapters on agriculture.<\/p>\n

The TPP would empower corporations to seek financial compensation for non-tariff barriers to trade. And in the eyes of Monsanto and other Big Ag companies, GMO labeling could easily fit the bill.<\/p>\n

For our 2014 annual roadshow, Oregon Fair Trade Campaign (ORFTC) teamed up with Food and Water Watch to do a series of forums across the state on the TPP and GMO Labeling in Oregon.<\/p>\n

Unite to Stop the TPP as it threatens to:
\n* Abolish GMO Labels as a barrier to trade
\n* Allow corporations to sue countries for lost profits for banning GMOs
\n* Promote GMO seed monopolies
\n* Lower international food safety standards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
