FARMERS AND green groups have joined together to launch a new campaign aimed at halting the authorisation of 25 genetically modified crops currently being considered for cultivation in Europe. The ‘Stop the Crop’ campaign claims that GM technology is having a ‘devastating impact’ in other countries as a result of the increased pesticide use it involves. [...] In the coming months, the EU Environment Council is expected to decide on whether or not to approve the 25 new GM crops for cultivation in Europe.
