Projects included:

1) Legislative efforts to pass a moratorium on the planting of food crops genetically-modified to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals in Oregon. Our bill was passed by the Oregon Senate in 2005, the furthest (at that time) that any legislative attempt to restrict biopharm crops had ever gone in this country (the legislative session ended before the bill could be taken up by the Oregon House). In 2007, both houses of the Oregon state legislature passed, and the governor signed, a bill authorizing a memorandum of understanding between the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Department of Public Health, and the US Department of Agriculture, covering oversight and monitoring of biopharming in Oregon. This memorandum was finalized in February, 2010, and places Oregon #2 (after Maine) in the U.S. in regulation of biopharm crops.

2) Grass roots consumer education and action campaign designed to halt production of any dairy products within Oregon from cows treated with rBGH. Successes thus far include multiple dairies and retail outlets going rBGH-free, and numerous organizations coming out against rBGH, including the American Public Health Association and the American Nurses Association.

3) Grass roots campaign to discourage Oregon schools from purchasing irradiated foods.

4) Grass roots campaign to promote sustainable meat production.
