Oxford Real Farming Conference 2015
I’ll be speaking at this years Oxford Real Farming conference, January 7, 2015.
This will be my group Beyond GM’s debut at the conference and we’ll be talking about some or our early successes at engaging public support.
From the event programme:
It was public pressure which kept GMOs out of the UK in the late nineties. In the last decade, however, the issue has slipped off the public, media and political agenda. Now with the stakes higher than ever, how do we reach out to the general public and mobilise them to speak out before it’s too late. In this session, Beyond GM’s, Pat Thomas, GM Freeze’s, Liz O’Neill and GEN’s, Jim McNulty, join chair, Francesca Price, to discuss GM campaigning in 2014. What can each of us do to keep GM out of the UK? Hitting home the message: Peter Kindersley will highlight the key issues about GM and alternatives that citizens need to know and show how he is getting the message to his customers.
I’ll also be chairing a session on the New Science of GMOs as well. Hope to see you there!
