Thousands march and rally against GMOs on Kauai

Approximately 3,000 people marched and rallied on Sunday in support of a measure that would place a moratorium on the farming of genetically modified organisms on Kauai.

Organizers of the "Mana March" said the event drew at least 3,000 people who marched from Vidinha Stadium to the historic Kauai County Building to show their support for Bill 2491.

Besides the GMO moratorium, the bill would also require industrial farmers to disclose to the public what chemicals are in the pesticides they are using. It also would establish buffer zones, where pesticides couldn't be used near schools, hospitals, residential areas and waterways.
