The Water and Food Working Group works
in the areas of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and
Water Resources. It seeks to protect the rights and safety
of consumers by pushing for the labeling of GMO foods and
ingredients, while promoting independent, scientific analysis
of GMO technology and crops. Concerned for the more than 1
billion people around the world who currently do not have
access to a safe water supply, the Working Group also seeks
to hold America’s corporations accountable for water
misuse and pollution.
Mission Statement
The Water and Food Working Group pursues corporate action
to address concerns about the environmental and health risks
related to GMOs and the use of patent claims by the industry
to restrict the freedom and self-reliance of farmers. It also
strives to raise awareness among corporations and shareholders
about the increasing scarcity of water resources, to ensure
that corporations take responsible actions to limit and restrict
the pollution and overuse of water, and to address issues
of control and privatization.
