GMO-free Estonia campaign (Estonian)
The Estonian Council of Environmental NGOs (EKO), the Estonian Farmers` Federation, the Fund of Organic Agriculture, the Centre for Ecological Technologies and Consumers´ Organisations from four cities have launched a campaign to establish GMO-free zones, helping farmers to express their determination to remain GMO-free.
The campaign for a GMO-free Estonia is collecting information about landowners who are aware of the risks connected to GMOs and do not want to grow them.
Anybody who wants to declare their land GMO-free can fill in the declaration.

Estonians changed their mind about GMOs
Estonians have changed their mind on GM food and agriculture between 2001 and 2005 a survey of the Estonian Institute on Economics reveals. In 2001 53% said they might eat GM food and only 24% said certainly not, in 2005 only 24% said "maybe" but 46% "certainly not". Also a majority now believes that GMOs should not be grown in their country.
