The BBC reports that the GMO debate in India is heating up, pointing to cotton failures that might be linked to mass farmer suicides. Currently cotton is the only transgenic crop approved for production; though, Monsanto predicts that India will adopt transgenic corn within five years. The Biotechnology Industry Organization, representing more than 1,200 biotech firms, is praising President-elect Obama's choice for Agriculture Secretary. Monsanto admits wrongdoing in a recent transgenic cotton contamination event. A relatively new collaborative effort to verify non-GMO ingredients officially launched a standard this month. With over 350 products enrolled, The Non-GMO Project's Product Verification Program works to ensure the availability of non-GMO food choices through a third-party verification system. The total global area of transgenic crops now accounts for nine percent of global primary crop production. Four crops account for nearly all of the production: soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola. But can the technology deliver? An EU official is testing the political climate by moving forward with an approval of transgenic corn field trials. These would be the first authorized in 10 years.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
