Are GM crops better for the environment?
The reality of GM crops in the ground and on our plates
Report 2 | May 2015
In this second report of the GMO Inquiry 2015, we investigate the impacts and risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on our environment. Genetically modified crops have been a 20-year open-air experiment in Canada. What are the consequences?
“Where in the world are GM crops and foods?” is the first in a series of reports that investigate unanswered questions from 20 years of GMOs in Canada. Watch this space for future reports, and join us as we examine the impacts of GM crops on our environment, on our food and farming systems, and on our health.
