GM WATCH: Mexico’s position that it will keep out #GMO corn no matter what “sets a major precedent for the world,” Prof. Michael Antoniou said, “and that’s why the US is fighting it so hard.”

From 2021, 

Mexico has banned genetically modified corn and glyphosate. It will replace the GM corn with native varieties. pic.twitter.com/qB42FMJP6d

 From 2023, 

Mexican ban of #GMO white corn wins wide public support. Mexico is more than self-sufficient in the production of GMO-free white corn for human consumption. Its domestic production is GMO free thanks to a ban on harvesting GMO seeds in 2005 https://t.co/pP0Rk2KJO6 pic.twitter.com/vwUSXaFe4N

 From 2024, 

Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo was inaugurated as the 66th #president of #Mexico one month ago. She is the first woman to hold the office. Food security and food sovereignty are top of mind for her administration. As such, Sheinbaum has vowed to uphold ban on #GMO corn. 🇲🇽🌽👏 pic.twitter.com/qxhcRzu2Xl

Mexico’s position that it will keep out #GMO corn no matter what “sets a major precedent for the world,” Prof. Michael Antoniou said, “and that’s why the US is fighting it so hard.” But the US’s defence of #GMOs & #glyphosate is based on outdated science. https://t.co/TweaaPcobQ

Mexico is defying the US aggressive attempts to stop Mexico from banning GMO corn and glyphosate. Mexico’s National Council for Humanities, Science and Technology has prepared a 200 page document with 1200 references arguing their case.  https://t.co/QwxDnXuROM
