Welcome to the GMWatch Portal (incorporating LobbyWatch) on Powerbase—providing an A-Z list of articles on some of the key people and groups behind the push for GM crops and food. The editors of the GMWatch portal are Claire Robinson and Jonathan Matthews, who also edit Myth Makers—formerly known as LobbyWatch. Please read General Disclaimer |
Comments on GMWatch/LobbyWatch "If you want to know how the world works, this is the place to start. I cannot think of a more necessary set of facts than these. LobbyWatch permits us to peer into the crucible of politics, to see how public perceptions and government policies are smelted and forged by corporations and their front organisations." – Journalist, broadcaster and author George Monbiot
