Bad news! The supermarket chains Waitrose, Asda and AB Agri have joined with Marks and Spencer in the RTRS - the greenwashing exercise for GM soy monocultures run by WWF and others, including Monsanto and Syngenta.

expressing your deep disappointment at these companies joining an organisation that is being used as part of a strategy by giant agribusiness corporations to try and get GM soya labelled as "responsible".

The supermarkets also need to know that as consumers we want GM-free fed animal products, and labelling that supports such products.

Instead of engaging in greenwash and dodgy schemes to try and make GM soya acceptable, they should be completely excluding GM soya from their supply chains, and working on long term alternatives to soya as animal feed, that do not destroy the Amazon, the Cerrado and the Pantanal, or have the negative social effects, and food security issues that soya from South America produces.
