Here is a short bio (please use this to introduce Lucy at events):
Lucy Sharratt works in Ottawa as the Coordinator of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, also known as CBAN. CBAN is a campaign coalition of 18 organizations including farmer associations, environmental groups and international development organizations, all of which have various concerns about genetic engineering. Lucy previously worked as a campaigner and researcher on this issue at the Sierra Club of Canada and the Polaris Institute. Lucy also coordinated the International Ban Terminator Campaign.
Here is more detailed information about CBAN's Coordinator:
Lucy Sharratt has extensive experience as a researcher and campaigner with organizations concerned about genetic engineering and global justice issues. She worked as Coordinator for the International Ban Terminator Campaign (the international moratorium on Terminator at the United Nations was upheld and strengthened in this phase of the campaign).
Lucy was the Coordinator of the Safe Food/Sustainable Agriculture Campaign at the Sierra Club of Canada and worked as a researcher for the BioJustice Project of the Polaris Institute in Ottawa. She also worked as Project Manager for Voices from the South, a project of the Working Group on Canadian Science and Technology Policy, which focused on issues raised by genetic engineering in the Global South.
She worked at the local level as a volunteer with Food Action Ottawa on many issues including the successful campaign against Bovine Growth Hormone. Before moving to Ottawa from St. John’s Newfoundland, Lucy led youth education and action initiatives on global justice issues. Lucy has extensive experience at United Nations negotiations, representing civil society groups, most recently at the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Lucy has a Master's degree from the Institute of Political Economy at Carleton University where she wrote her thesis on the regulation of genetically engineered foods and crops in Canada. She is the author of "No to Bovine Growth Hormone: A Story of Resistance from Canada" in Redesigning Life? The Worldwide Challenge to Genetic Engineering, edited by Brian Tokar (London: Zed Books, 2001) and co-author with Dr. Peter Andree of "Unsatisfactory Democracy: Conflict Over Monsanto's Genetically Engineered Wheat" in Environmental Conflict and Democracy in Canada edited by Laurie E. Adkin (UBC Press, 2009.).
In 2006 Lucy was nominated by E. Ann Clark for "Best Peoples Defense" in the Captain Hook Awards in the subcategory of "On a Shoestring".
