Recommendations for farmers, food & feed processors

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
What problem does the tool address?:	From the very beginning, the Organic Sector has taken a strong position: GMOs and their derivatives have no place in organic food and farming systems. Still, the risks of contamination are high in Europe.
What solution does the tool offer?:	To remain GMO-free according to its standards and not to undermine consumers' trust, the Organic Sector must take measures to avoid contamination at all steps of the production chain, from seeds to the final product. In order to facilitate the ability of the Organic Sector to remain GMO-free, IFOAM EU with the Organic Research Centre, has provided those guidelines to identify measures to be taken at each step of the production chain.
