German Govt. Allows Monsanto to Plant Genetically Modified Corn
Posted by Susan Ponsolle on 06-04-07The German government has approved several new types of GM (genetically modified) corn to be planted in six of the nation's states.
The crops have been genetically altered to resist certain types of work, and tests have shown that the crops would pose no danger to humans or livestock, though many European governments hold that many such crops are unsafe for humans and the environment.
A 200-meter border will be required around each field to prevent cross-pollination with other crops.
