Bob Phelps has been working in the GMO watchdog scene for many years. He founded Gene Ethics in 1988 to work for a GM-free future.

Bob is an educator and campaigner in peace and environment movements, with forty years experience. In 2003 he was awarded a Federation Medal for his services to the Australian community.

Gene Ethics is a non-profit educational network of citizens and kindred groups. We want the precautionary principle, scientific evidence and the law rigorously applied to all proposed uses of genetic manipulation (GM) technologies and their products.

Gene Ethics generates and distributes accurate information and analysis on the ethical, environmental, social and economic impacts of GM. Our education programs critically assess GM for the public, policy-makers and interest groups.
