On the 17th April 450 farmers demonstrated in the global day of action across Germany against TTIP (The EU-US free trade agreement) and genetically engineered crops.
They marched together under the slogan of âTTIP and Gentechnik, bleibt uns vom Hof [TTIP and genetic engineering stay away from our farmers]â. The demonstation, organised by the AbL (Arbeitsgemeinschaft bĂ€uerliche Landwirtschaft), sought to emphasise how the TTIP would threaten the livelihoods of farmers and would pave the way for the introduction of American produced GMOs.
