The Coalition for a GE Free BC is committed to making Canada free of genetically engineered (GE) crops. We are a network of social justice groups, ethical businesses and farmers across BC that work to secure a GE-Free BC as a step towards a GE Free Canada. Supporting a GE Free BC means supporting bio-diversity, local farmers and economies. It's about communities deciding what is grown and eaten, not large food, bio-tech or agri-business companies.

CBAN focuses on the risks of genetic engineering and promotes food sovereignty and democratic decision-making on science and technology issues in order to protect the integrity of the environment, health, food and the livelihoods of people in Canada and around the world.

Regular events that we hold include restaurant dine-outs, monthly potlucks, and an annual 2 day healthy food festival, Taste of Health. We offer our members a 10% discount at over 70 like-minded businesses, mostly in the lower mainland.

FarmFolk/CityFolk Society is a non-profit organization that works with food communities toward a local, sustainable food system. FarmFolk/CityFolk's work has helped put food and agriculture on many agendas, including those of the general public, media, government, and other NGOs. Because the issue of food is so closely tied to our environment, health, social justice, and economy, FarmFolk/CityFolk's work has covered many avenues. After 10 years and many successes, FarmFolk/CityFolk is focusing on 3 programs: Protecting our foodlands; supporting our farmers and food producers; and connecting farm and city folks to educate, celebrate, and communicate with local food communities. It is the connection between farm and city, producer and consumer, grower and eater that creates sustainable communities.

To inform about the benefits of a raw, unprocessed plant based diet and offer support as people make healthy choices in that direction.
