Target: David crombie President of the National Farmers Federation (NFF)
Region: Australia
Background (Preamble):
Genetically modified crops have caused disaster in Canada with Canadian canola being polluted by contamination.The organic canola industry was destroyed. Consumers around the world do not want to eat GM foods.
Japan wants Australia to outlaw GM crops. If this was enacted Australian farmers would have a market to themselves as Japan would buy all of Australia's GM free canola.
The president of the NFF is in favour of GM crops but farmers have not had any representation from the NFF asking farmers if they are against GM crops.The NFF appears to have decided GM crops are in the best interests of farmers even though farmers themselves are divided and undecided.
