Under Current: Why no to GMO?
The moratorium on GM crops is being lifted in NSW on the 1st of July. It's the age old question: is GMO really good for us and the planet?

Later in the show I also spoke with President of the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance, Tammi Jonas, about natural ways of boosting biodiversity and food nutrition.
