GMO's

The Phoenix Voyage Team acknowledges a growing need for putting a focus on food growth, and more then that, healthy food growth. This page is dedicated to our farmers, and connecting them to other farmers and information regarding GMO crops, as well as information on the health facts of genetically modified foods.

WE, AS GROWERS, CONSUMERS, PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, MUST BE INFORMED ON THIS SERIOUS ISSUE so we can take action for future generations. Thank you for taking the time to learn, please pass on this information.

From Natural Revolution.org:
"These days, with the millions of acres of farmlands in the U.S., it’s hard to find any commercially grown farm fields that aren’t planted with genetically modified corn or soybeans. While GMO (genetically modified organism) crops are quickly taking over the landscape in the United States and Canada, not all countries have embraced these questionable crops.

Even scientific research studies have revealed the true and sometime horrifying nature of these ‘novel’ food items, as well as the chemicals that are used to grow them."

Here’s a list of countries that banned GMO food."

Countries that Banned GMO's

FARMER TO FARMER. LISTEN AND LEARN

Michael Hart, a conventional livestock family farmer, has been farming in Cornwall for nearly thirty years and has actively campaigned on behalf of family farmers for over fifteen years, travelling extensively in Europe, India, Canada and the USA.

In this short documentary he investigates the reality of farming genetically modified crops in the USA ten years after their introduction. He travels across the US interviewing farmers and other specialists about their experiences of growing GM.

Nnimmo Bassey, head of Friends of the Earth International dismisses the biotech industry's claims that GM crops require fewer pesticides and produce higher yields

An intelligent mother, starts a journey to understand food allergies her child was reacting to.

Robyn shares her personal story and how it inspired her current path as a "Real Food" evangelist. Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a "typical" breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others. Informative and inspiring

THE GMO THREAT. THE WHOLE TRUTH. THIS IS A MUST SEE TO UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HOW GMO'S CAME ABOUT AND THE CURRENT SITUATION REGARDING OUR FOOD SUPPLY.

Smith documents how consumption of genetically modified foods has been directly linked with reproductive problems, immune system deficiencies, accelerated ageing, organ damage and gastrointestinal problems. The immune system problem has been seen consistently in mice and rats who are fed GMO food, explains Smith, and now since humans have started consuming genetically modified foods, auto-immune diseases and allergies have increased.

Genetically Modified Foods in America | Health Documentary

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods, and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term, 'living modified organism' defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs (specifically, "any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology").
