Genetic Engineering in New Zealand
The following extended series of articles and interviews was gathered in the context of the 2000-2001 hearings of New Zealand's Royal Commission on Genetic Modification. In Motion Magazine travelled around New Zealand with Missouri Rural Crisis Center and National Family Farm Coalition president Bill Christison visiting farmers and community leaders and listening to their views about genetically modified organisms. After hearing the recommendations of the commission, the New Zealand government will make a decision on whether or not GE crops will be allowed in New Zealand. The interviews were conducted in February and March, 2001 by Nic Paget-Clarke. |
