Push ‘Benefits’ of GMO Crops, a Report from the UK Government Says
‘A report from the UK House of Commons on Food Security by the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Committee supports the British government’s plan to push genetically modified crops on England, without really telling the people which crops would actually be sown.
The report also suggests telling the public about ‘possibly beneficial impacts’ of GMOs, yet fails to talk about the fact that biotech seeds which would be planted would require heavier levels of Monsanto’s RoundUp, as well as other herbicides, in order to successfully grow. The report also does not discuss the impacts of organic farming throughout England, which are great.’
