GMO Myths and Truths, a tip from Frances Moore-Lappé

Hey.

What’s summer mean for you? For us, it means family vacations, juicy peaches, overflowing farmers markets, and–with record-high temperatures–worries about the climate crisis, too. In this issue we touch on it all. You’ll find our new organic ag factsheet (the first in our new series), an excellent new report on GMOs, the best article we’ve read on climate change yet, and some inspiring stories to boot.
