Biowatch South Africa

Overview

Established in 1997 as a national non-governmental organisation to publicise, monitor and research issues of genetic modification and promote biological diversity and sustainable livelihoods, Biowatch South Africa strives to prevent biological diversity from being privatised for corporate gain. They aspire to an environment where people control their food supply systems, where the benefits from commercial use of biological resources are fairly shared and where ordinary citizens are encouraged to help make policy choices about new technologies, such as, genetic modification.

They are working towards a future where there is no hunger, where there is social justice and where our land, water and air is protected.
