2017 March Board Book

acknowledge the well-established science affirming the safety of agricultural biotechnology, would you require farmers to go back to old, inefficient and less effective cropping practices?

On behalf of our farmer members, who represent the vast majority of American agriculture, we respectfully request that you revise the Dannon pledge to recognize the sustainability, safety and environmental benefit of food biotechnology. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with you further and to offer our assistance in developing truly meaningful measurements of agricultural sustainability that will honestly and accurately characterize your products' ingredients.

Sincerely,
