In a seperate action a group known as the Cropatistas laid waste to just over one acre of Seed-Tech's Round-up Ready corn.(July 27 and 28, 1999)

• Ag BioTech InfoNet covers all aspects of the application of biotechnology and genetic engineering in agricultural production and food processing and marketing. Our focus is on scientific reports and findings and technical analysis, although the site also covers emerging issues of widespread interest, developments in the policy arena, and major media coverage. We offer a road-map to the wealth of resources on the Internet where interested individuals can access original documents and more detailed information from a variety of sources.
• Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy: The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy's mission is to create environmentally and economically sustainable rural communities and regions through sound agriculture and trade policy. We assist public interest organizations in coalition building and influencing both domestic and international policymaking through monitoring, analysis and research, education and outreach, and information systems management.
• The International Center for Technology Assessment: Holding technology Accountable!

• Union of Concerned Scientists

• Genetic Engineering Network One of the most exciting things about the wider campaign against genetic engineering is the number of groups active on varying levels. While some groups are working on the animal welfare side of genetic engineering, others are working on the patenting of life. Some want complete bans, some the labelling of GE products and others moratoriums, while others are simply concentrating on raising public awareness. It became apparent that all these groups needed to establish some common ground and exchange information in order to be as effective as possible. The other need was for information to get out to the general public in order to inform and enable them to become actively involved. The Genetic Engineering Network (GEN) was set up in early 1997 to achieve these aims and exists as a clearing house for information.

• London-based genetics e-mail list: geneticss""> There is a new searchable GE list archive server available. This site has been established to suppport discussions about genetic engineering and to provide information intelligible to non scientists. At present decisions are being taken which are influencing society and environment worldwide: New crops are being planted and products derived from them are being sold fraudulently (without labels and risk information) on the world market. Huge areas are being invaded by newly designed organisms: organism whose long term effects to ecosystems are unknown and which can never be brought back if there are adverse effects. Patent laws are being issued making plants, animals and parts of the human body the property of single persons and companies. The new colonization of the nature and the human body isn't an issue restricted to scientists and multinational companies.
