Mexican farmer organizations demand moratorium on GM corn

About 200 farmers organizations in Mexico demanded the government an unlimited moratorium on Genetically Modified corn. By a communiqué spread in this capital the plaintiffs ask for more attention to farmers and native agriculture and a special protection regime around original corn as the Mexican people's main food. They denounced speculation and privatizing practices of transnational companies which are interested in spreading growing of GMOs in hectares devoted to national production.
