A group of people against genetically-modified food is staging a protest of a much more friendly kind this weekend.
Rotorua residents will get the chance to learn about genetically-modified crops at the Seed Freedom Rotorua event being held at City Focus on Saturday between 11am and 2pm.
Event organiser Denise La Grouw said it was an action of love.
"It's a Gandhi approach where people are given the information to educate themselves and make informed decisions about what they eat and what their families eat."
There will be seed and seedling giveaways, music, children's activities, information pamphlets, documentaries to see and the chance for people to learn about what a genetically-modified crop is.
