Our pro-organic position on food production recognises the premium price organic food can attract.
A pro-organic position on food production also guarantees a premium perception on the quality of a region thus improving our tourism potential as a 'good and healthy' place to visit or to live.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) risks the current perception of Australia's food production industry and our region as 'clean and healthy'.
Why would we risk the high quality perception of our region when the bulk of scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that GMOs have serious health effects.
This could damage our primary and tourism industries if GMOs are released into the local food chain.
