May 28th 2009 the international ‘Round Table on Responsible Soy’ (RTRS) has agreed on criteria for ‘responsible’ soy. These are very weak and do not offer an effective solution for the grave impacts of soy production. Even worse, they legitimise genetically engineered (GE) soy which is designed to be produced with large (and increasing) amounts of agri-chemicals. This is at the cost of people and the environment. This site explains what is wrong with this and questions the important role WWF, Solidaridad and the Dutch government play in this process.

Directly and through organisations like development NGO Solidaridad, the Dutch government provides financial support for the Round Table. WWF is also a strong supporter of the RTRS, while still claiming to be opposed to genetically engineered crops. This site reveals what most members and fund raisers of these organisations probably do not know.
