Petition to STOP GM Rice
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi
We don't want GM
Rice!
Rice is the main staple of the Japanese. Our main agriculture has
always been rice growing
However, numbers of varieties of GM Rice are being approved for
growing and importing in Japan. If GM Rice is allowed, the
Japanese people may be consuming a lot more GM products.
We will oppose the development, cultivation, and
import/export of genetically modified rice because it ignores
food safety, weakens both domestic and global agriculture, and
negatively impacts the environment.
- The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries should not approve the domestic cultivation of GM Rice.
- Do not import foreign-developed GM Rice for human consumption, processed food and animal feed.
- The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare should never approve of GM Rice for human consumption.
