LobbyWatch: GM Myth Makers
LobbyWatch provides an A-Z of the people and groups involved in the push for GMOs and their associated pesticides. As well as thumbnail sketches of the different individuals and organisations, it includes links to profiles, articles etc. for more detailed information about them.
