Citizens' Center for Monitoring Genetically Modified Rice
GMR-Watch Center

§ GMR-Watch Center
GMR-Watch Center is a citizens' organization on the internet working for the prevention of research and development, industrial production, and commercial sale of genetically modified rice (GMR) that has serious adverse effects on Japanese diet and agriculture.

§ Providing Information on Genetically Modified Rice
We will provide information that supports the opposition movement by collecting information from supporting and opposing sources on the research and development, legislative preparations, production, sale, and import/export of genetically modified rice.
To provide information, we will link ourselves with citizens' movement organizations such as the We Don't Need GMO Food! Campaign that is the center of the GMO (genetically modified organism) opposition movement in Japan.
Furthermore, we don't want to limit our movement to within Japan only, we would also like to contribute to the global movement by providing information and making clear the position of Japanese citizens on genetic modification of staple grains in Asia, America, and Europe.

§ Founding Organizations
The GMR-Watch Center was established by Teikei Rice Network, a network organization of rice farmers and consumers seeking independent agriculture for Japan.

§ Secretariat
The Secretariat for GMR-Watch Center is located within the Secretariat for the Teikei Rice Network within the Save the Great Earth Group.
