Say No To Genetically Engineered Food - Safe Food Campaign Kit 1998, 110pp) The focus of this book is to "Say No! to Genetic Engineering" in agriculture and food production. Touted as the new age panacea for the world's food woes, the use of genetic engineering in agriculture, particularly in development of food produce, has raised concerns over numerous threats to human health, and the environment. There is also great concern over the corporate control of GE and impact on farmers and farming communities. Fundamental to these concerns are the moral and ethical implications of using this technology to own and manipulate life itself. PAN AP takes this opportunity to raise media and public attention on this issue via the Safe Food Kit - comprising this book, 2 fact sheets, a poster and a bibliography.

Land for Food - Safe Food Campaign Kit 1997, 84pp) The Safe Food Campaign for 1997 carries the theme "Land For Food", in response to regional concerns of how, under the new wave of globalization, liberalization of agriculture, and in the name of large-scale "efficient" farming, land and agriculture are being taken away from the very people who had sustained it over the ages - small and family farmers. And away from the needs of local communities who had supported it. For millions of people across the globe, it is the lack of access to land that is a major threat to food security. Packed with information related to the theme, the Campaign Booklet carries an overview of the situation surrounding land in the region; features impacts on particular social groups; carries cautionary information for governments and consumers; as well as numerous examples of what concerned citizens', non-governmental organizations and people's organizations are doing to raise their concerns over land issues, and advocate for changes in how land is used and treated.

Eat - Smart! Healthy! Local! Safe and Secure Food for Tomorrow - Safe Food Campaign- October 1996, 141pp.) Food is a basic right and provides a sense of community and security.

This book and the accompanying posters, comprise the kit for the campaign which promotes eating locally grown food from sustainable, healthy agriculture as a way towards ensuring safe and secure food for all. Packed with facts and figures that expose the negative, it is also filled with case studies, actions and visions of people fighting for the positive.
