Anti-genetically modified food groups on Wednesday announced a campaign against the Government’s move to promote “iron fortified” GM bananas to save Indian women from anaemia. As part of the campaign, an online petition opposing the move has been initiated by Navdanya, Mahila Anna Swaraj, Diverse Women for Diversity, Initiative for Health & Equity in Society, Guild of Services, Save Honey Bees Campaign, etc. At a press conference here on Wednesday, Navdanya founder, Vandana Shiva, even questioned the credibility of James Dale of Queensland University, who was being funded by Gates Foundation for “innovation” in GM bananas.
