Seeds of revolt

EUROTOQUE Ireland has joined the long list of organisations which support the campaign for a GM-free Ireland.

Eurotoques are a European association of chefs who are primarily concerned with supporting the producers of the best foods in Europe, and thus maintaining the fine quality and flavour of ingredients. They wish to maintain traditional dishes and traditional ways of preparing and cooking foods.

As an organisation, they have taken a vigorous anti-GMO stance: “The prospect of genetically modified crops being released into our environment is possibly the most worrying development yet in the agri-food world and one which may have far reaching effects on all aspects of food, health and the environment.”
