ST&F presents Resolution on Food Security to General Convention
|
|
The ST&F Committee is presenting a Resolution on Food Security to the 74th General Convention, in Miinneapolis. The Subcommittee on Genetically Modified Foods, which authored this resolution, seeks to raise awareness of the broader food security context of g.m. foods, including concerns for environmental and biosafety, reduced diversity of wild and domesticated plants, displacement of small farmers in the U.S. and worldwide, and the concentrated control of commercial seed production within fewer and fewer corporations. The resolution calls for Episcopalians to support public policy and actions that foster the types of science and technology that preserve biodiversity in food production, as a reflection of the diversity of God's Creation and the roles of caring and relatedness within God's Kingdom.
