Today, we launch the <strong>Toolkit for new GMO-Free Municipalities, <\/strong>a practical resource designed to help citizens and local councils act against the deregulation of GMOs derived from New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-ee856660 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.foeeurope.org\/index.php\/s\/kspYMKAfLoxM5xQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Toolkit<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the EU debates removing safety checks, labelling, and traceability for New Genomic Techniques, municipalities still have <strong>real power<\/strong>. They can adopt political resolutions, protect organic and GMO-free farming, set clear public procurement rules, and demand transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s inside the toolkit?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A ready-to-use <strong>model municipal resolution<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guidance on <strong>how to approach local officials<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arguments on <strong>contamination risks, patents, and farmers\u2019 legal liability<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>press release<\/strong>, communication materials, and the promotional video<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legal and political context, glossary, and resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why municipalities?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because local governments are closest to citizens, farmers, and food systems. From school meals to land-use policies, municipalities can defend <strong>consumer choice, food sovereignty, and agroecology<\/strong>, and send a strong political message to national and EU decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This toolkit is for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Local activists and citizen groups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Farmers and organic networks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Councillors and mayors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NGOs working on food, environment, and democracy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Download the toolkit and take action!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Declare your town a new <strong>GMO-Free Municipality<\/strong> and help build a growing network of communities standing for precaution, transparency, consumers and farmers\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together with Friends of the Earth Europe, we launch the Toolkit for activists who
