Welcome to the webpage of GMO - Free Hawaii. We are a coalition of grassroots citizen groups from each of the major Hawaiian islands who are working together to move Hawaiian agriculture away from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and towards truly sustainable agriculture. As of November 2002, there were 166 open-air field tests of genetically engineered crops being conducted over 8000 acres of land in the Hawaiian islands, more test sites and more acreage of experimental field trials than any other place in the world. We are concerned about the impact this experimental technology will have on our environment, our island economy, our local farmers and growers, and on the health of the people of our state. On this website, you can learn more about genetic engineering, find out what our member groups are doing on each island, and discover how you can be a part of the people’s movement against genetic engineering in Hawaii. Genetic engineering affects us all, particularly those of us who live in the islands, and in order to responsibly guide the future of this technology we must be as educated as possible. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about genetic engineering in Hawaii, and we hope that you will join us in making Hawaii GMO Free.
