*Organic Farmers Are Not Anti-Science but Genetic Engineers Often Are*

*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?

Elizabeth Henderson farms near Rochester, NY.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
