________________________________________­________________
For over 20 years, Hawai'i has been the global center for the open-field testing of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's), including pharmaceutical crops. Over 5,000 experimental tests have been conducted by Monsanto, Dow, Dupont/Pioneer, Syngenta and BASF that spray chemicals on an almost daily basis on our most valuable lands. They are supported by tax-breaks, and beneficial relationships with landowners, regulators and politicians. We estimate GMO companies own or lease 40,000 -- 60,000 acres that are sprayed with over 70 different chemicals.

A new vision for Hawai'i would promote small farms that grow chemical-free produce, employ our youth and restore the indigenous ahupua'a system. Hawai'i has less than 3,000 acres of certified organic farmland, which is 0.27% of Hawaiian farmland.

Kamehameha Schools is Hawaii's largest private landowner. Despite Kamehameha's public statements about sustainability and conservation, they lease substantial amounts of land to multi-national biotech firms, including Monsanto, Dow, Dupont/Pioneer and Syngenta for GMO open field tests and seed corn production.

Kamehameha is the only institution with the land, capital and resources to reduce our food imports, that are now over 90%, and ensure that Hawai'i does not run out of food in case of natural disasters or rising oil prices.

Isn't it strange how people try to preach about how GMOs will "save the world" and "feed the starving children"? First, there is no need, as non GMO crops produce equal yields, and starvation is a food distribution problem, not supply as globally there is a significant food surplus. In addition, thus far biotech companies in general have not used their products to help poor people, they have used them to monopolize, control seeds, shut down small farmers, make people dependent on them

Shared this with my daughter who grew up on Oahu. She was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer in her early 30's. No cancer history in our family at all. But growing up in Waipahu, she had fields all around her. Thank heavens she moved to the mainland so my grandkids are not exposed.
