Three bills are moving through Parliament right now, and their implications stretch well beyond the organic sector.

Join us next Wednesday evening with Organics Aotearoa New Zealand outlining OANZ's submission on both the HSNO and ACVM Amendment Bills and how they connect to the Gene Tech Bill. Join OANZ board member Scott Lawson, scientist Professor Jack Heinemann, and regulatory expert Marie Doole as they present our analysis of the HSNO and ACVM Amendment Bills and what it could mean for organic and non-GMO producers and consumers.

They'll share OANZ’s position, submission findings, and a submission guide to take action by making your own submission before the 15 June deadline.

This will leave you informed and ready to act.

Many of you have been closely watching the HSNO and ACVM Amendment Bills.

We've been quieter than usual because we've been working behind the scenes, assembling a team of experts and carefully reviewing how these two bills connect to the Gene Tech Bill, their implications for the organic sector, and what they mean for the wider community of non-GMO farmers, producers and consumers.

This webinar is our first step in sharing that work. Join us as we present OANZ's position on the HSNO and ACVM Amendment Bills, our submission findings, and a submission guide so you can take action before the 15 June deadline.

We'll leave you informed and ready to act.

Register now for our webinar.
10 June, 7.30 pm via Zoom.
Free and open to all.
