Cultivation of GM Bt maize will harm European wildlife and jeopardise conventional and organic farming. Despite this, there is a threat that Bt maize could be grown in Europe on a large scale as companies are submitting new GM Bt maize varieties to the EU […] In 2002, the Monsanto company submits to the German authorities an application to import genetically engineered MON863 maize into the EU.

[…] Once a serene refuge from urban pollution and chaos, the Argentine countryside has now become a place fraught with risks. The massive use of pesticides on fields of GE soy is creating a “health catastrophe” in the rural sector. […] For years the biotechnology industry has trumpeted that it will feed the world, promising that its genetically engineered crops will produce higher yields. That promise has proven to be empty, says UCS. […] |
