The Non-GMO School Lunches action team, the Homemakers United Foundation, the Homemakers United Cooperative, and the Taiwan Non-GMO Promotion Alliance joined hands today (5/19) at the Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market to launch the sixth Global March Against Monsanto since 2013.

Emeritus Professor Guo Huaren of the Department of Agronomy at National Taiwan University, legislators Chen Manli and Li Yanxiu, Homemakers United Foundation Managing Director Huang Shude, Non-GMO School Lunches co-founder Huang Jialin, Homemakers United Cooperative Chairwoman Li Xiuwei, and Yongxing Livestock Farm operator Cai Ronghong all attended the event press conference, loudly calling for management regulations to be established for new-generation gene-editing and RNA interference crops, for the protection of Taiwan, China's food sovereignty, for adherence to a non-GMO policy on school campuses, and for opposition to multinational corporations' monopoly on seed patents.
