GM Crops Now Banned in 39 Countries Worldwide

GM Crops

Sustainable Pulse

Following the recent green wave of genetically modified (GM) crop cultivation bans across the European Union, Sustainable Pulse decided to research which countries have decided to officially ban the cultivation of GM crops around the Globe.

This research has led to the discovery that there is a growing swell of government level support worldwide for bans on GM crop cultivation for both health and environmental reasons.

Thirty nine (39) countries worldwide have officially banned the cultivation of GM crops and only 28 actually grow GM crops (most of which grow under 500 thousand hectares). The picture painted by the Biotech industry and the U.S. government that GM crops have been accepted by the majority of countries worldwide is therefore quite obviously wrong.

In fact many countries have recently started to put in place regulations to protect their population and environment from the environmental and health damage caused by GM crops.

Sustainable Pulse welcomes additions or edits to the list below from readers / experts from around the Globe – Please contact info@sustainablepulse.com .

    • England is also missing from the list, but Scotland Northern Ireland and R.O. I and Wales are on it. We in the UK are governed by a cadre of self serving crooks being led towards a Fascist state and we are halfway there already. I’m hoping that Scotland will leave the UK so I can go and live there.

        • Incompetent yes, but also very underhand, “Perfidious Albion” is alive and kicking the people who put them in power.

          One good thing to emerge out of this war against the people is that neither Starmer elites or those of Badenough will gain enough seats in Parliament to wage war against us in the future.

    • New Zealand still has a ban on GMO crops but it’s been a gruesome battle to keep it that way. The government has yet another bill in Parliament to legalize genetic engineering. However as this is election year, I doubt it will go anywhere. The really good news is that this was always a Green Party issue and now Voices for Freedom and other conservative medical freedom groups have come on board.
