---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Latham <[email protected]> Date: Tue, May 24, 2016 at 8:25 AM Subject: Organic Farmers Are Not Anti-Science but Genetic Engineers Often Are To: [email protected] Dear Friends and Colleagues Published today (Tuesday 24th May 2016) by *Independent Science News:* *Organic Farmers Are Not Anti-Science but Genetic Engineers Often Are* by Elizabeth Henderson https://www.independentsciencenews.org/un-sustainable-farming/organic-farmer... *Synopsis:* Opponents of GMOs, including organic farmers, are routinely being called anti-science. But it isn't organic farmers who prevent independent university researchers from accessing their seeds. Nor do organic farmers ignore scientific evidence of rising pesticide use and human harm. Organic farmers do work with universities to improve their methods, however; and they want more money for organic research. So, asks Elizabeth Henderson, who are the real anti-scientists?
