ACTION ALERT ON GENETIC ENGINEERING
- SUPPORT AB 541 -
SUPPORT AB 541, THE FOOD AND FARM PROTECTION ACT
SEND A LETTER TO THE ASSEMBLY AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE BY APRIL 9TH
Assemblymember Jared Huffman (6th AD) has introduced AB 541. The bill would
establish California's only state laws related to genetic engineering (GE)
in agriculture and protect California farmers, consumers, and the food
supply. AB 541 already has the support of many agricultural, environmental,
health, faith and business organizations.
Please register your support for this bill by mailing or faxing a letter to
the Assembly Agriculture Committee. A sample letter is provided below.
AB 541 - The Food and Farm Protection Act
Assemblymember Jared Huffman
IN BRIEF
AB 541 establishes California's only state laws related to genetic
engineering (GE) in agriculture. It protects California farmers and the
food supply in four ways: (1) Establishes the right of farmers and
landowners to compensation for economic losses due to genetic contamination
of their crops; (2) Protects farmers from liability if they unknowingly grow
contaminated crops; (3) Establishes a GE crop notification process so that
farmers can trace contamination to the GE manufacturer; (4) Protects the
food supply by prohibiting the open-field cultivation of drug producing food
crops. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.
The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer. Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and £5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep's foetus. @ The Mail On Sunday

For the first time, the USDA has granted preliminary approval for large-scale planting of an engineered food crop that contains human genes. The rice from California-based "pharming" firm Ventria Bioscience was designed to synthesize a human immune protein. The crop will soon be cultivated on 3,000 acres of land in Kansas, if the USDA finalizes its approval after a public comment period that ends March 30.
