also received in my inbox was another alarming petition. the USDA was required to create an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for GE alfalfa that essentially was not thoroughly explored nor contained much regard for organic farmers or concerned consumers.
Tell the USDA That You Care About GE Contamination of Organic Food - an article explaining the issue with information on how to voice your concern before before February 16 to hopefully put a stop to this issue
"[the] USDA is claiming that there is no evidence that consumers care about such GE contamination of organic!"
GE Alfalfa Draft EIS That Threatens Organic Integrity - essentially the same article as above, but with links to the EIS draft and supplemental documents.
GMO Update: November 16 2009 - a neat article on what is going on with GM beets, corn, and alfalfa
Alfalfa (GM) Fact Sheet - a PDF on GE alfalfa facts
Alfalfa - an entry on alfalfa in the GMO compass database.
