Summary

In dem Dossier wird erläutert, warum der Biolandbau keine «grüne Gentechnik» einsetzt. Es wird dargestellt, wo eine Kontamination der Bioprodukte möglich ist und welche Massnahmen dagegen ergriffen werden können. Eine Gesamteinschätzung der Situation und ein Glossar vervollkommnen den Ratgeber.

Additional Summary

Worldwide, organic farming has resolved not to use genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This dossier sets forth the arguments and explains the background. With more and more genetically modified crops being cultivated all around the world, the risk of organic products being unintentionally contaminated by GMOs is growing. The dossier highlights the critical points from cultivation through to the transportation and processing of organic products, and identifies the measures being taken to keep organic food production GM-free. This richly illustrated brochure will be valuable to all producers, processors, wholesalers and retailers, and to consumers wishing to gain an up-to-date overview of the state of debate.
