New Scientific Analyses Underpin Mexico’s Restrictions on GM Corn and Glyphosate Due to Health Risks
- Organic Consumers
Whatever the ruling, Mexico’s new President Claudia Sheinbaum has said her government will not allow the cultivation of GM corn. Sheinbaum also recently announced plans to try to place GM corn restrictions in Mexico’s constitution; “this is the best defense we have for biodiversity as well as for our health,” she said.
Mexico’s stand for food sovereignty and the scientific evidence they gathered to support their case have worldwide relevance, as nations across the Global South grapple with seed laws that would open the doors to GM foods. It also comes at a time when U.S. consumers are losing faith in the safety of our food supply, according to a recent Gallup poll.
