Having taken into account the large amount of scientific evidence that shows how synthetic pesticides can be hazardous to human health and the environment, Dr. Vrain is sounding the warning about the multiple dangers associated with pesticide use in crop production and domestic applications. He refutes the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment and, of course, that they are safe to eat.
Dr. Vrain is a retired soil biologist and genetic engineer who spent his research career with the Department of Agriculture in Canada. He was the head of a research group of 40 professionals in Biotechnology, the Vice President and President of national and international associations of soil biologists, and an Associate Editor of several scientific Journals in Europe and in the USA. He has spoken publicly about the current excesses of chemical agriculture, particularly antibiotic contamination of engineered crops and food. He lives on Vancouver Island on the West Coast of Canada. www.innisfreefarm.ca
