Sign On Statement

We have serious concerns about the risks genetic engineering poses to the economic
viability of agriculture in Hawai?i, to the integrity of native ecosystems, and
to our public health.

We support locally based agricultural systems that create real food security for Hawai?i
while protecting human health and the environment.

Be it resolved that we also support the actions listed below:

1. The establishment of a ?public right to know? regarding the location and nature of all

experimental and commercial GMO field sites in Hawai?i

2. Labeling of all GMO foods and seeds grown in the state

3. A moratorium on the patenting of indigenous Hawaiian flora and fauna, and on the patenting of

human genes taken from native Hawaiian peoples

4. The assignment of liability for any health, environmental or financial damages incurred from

GMO crops to the corporations, institutions, and patent holders who developed the GMO crops,

and never to local farmers and growers

5. Independent testing for GMO contamination of conventional and organic crops, to be paid for

by those institutions and corporations growing GMOs in Hawai?i

6. Independent peer-reviewed studies to evaluate the short- and long-term economic, health and

environmental implications of GMOs in Hawai?i; to be compared with alternative agricultural

options including organic agriculture

7. The right of growers? associations in Hawai?i to veto the field testing and/or commercial release of

genetically engineered varieties of their commodity in order to protect their markets

8. The establishment of this town/community/island/county as a GMO-Free Zone

9. A minimum five-year moratorium on open-air growing and testing of genetically engineered

plants and animals in the State of Hawai?i

10. Preventing contamination of a farmer?s pure non-GMO seed; and protecting a farmer?s right to

save seed

11. Eliminate tax credits for Hawaii?s highly controversial agricultural genetic engineering industry
