Welcome to the lovely fall season! This is the time of year for harvests, when hard-working farmers bring in the staple crops that are the very foundation of our survival. Yet this foundation has been eroded by industrial farming methods that include pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). With grass roots efforts in mind to help bring about awareness, we are celebrating this October as the third annual, official Non-GMO Month! It’s a chance to help spread the word about what is happening in our food supply, and to showcase efforts underway to require foods with GMO or GE (Genetically Engineered) ingredients to say it on their labels. This November, California citizens will be voting on just such a measure, known as Prop 37.
