Sir Julian Rose, who owns the Hardwick Estate, fears genetically modified organisms could harm humans if they make their way into food.
He has erected a sign outside his estate stating that it is a “GMO-free zone” and wants neighbouring farmers to follow suit.
Sir Julian, 65, said: “I’m urging farmers and landowners who are growing GMO-free foods to make the public aware of this fact by putting up a sign.
“We don’t trust or want GMO food. The public are interested in seeing and finding access to good-quality, flavourful and local foods grown by environmental farming methods.
