The Belgian Field Liberation Movement is planning a demonstration with direct action against the GM potato trial fields in Wetteren, Belgium on Sunday 29 May 2011. Here trials are being conducted on blight resistant GM potatoes. Activities planned are:
- Debate and Press conference on GMOs, GM crops in Belgium and the role of public research institutions.
- Information on interesting non-GM potato varieties that are bred for blight resistance.
- Farmers market and seed swap.
- Organic french fries workshop.
- Concert and cultural activities
- Non-violent direct action: replace the GM potatoes with traditionally bred blight resistant potatoes.
For more information see their blog.
Be sure to bring seed balls made with True Potato Seeds!
