Greenpeace looking out for crops and farmers

A Greenpeace report warns European farmers against herbicide-tolerant genetically engineered (HTGE) crops.

"The situation forces farmers to buy increasing quantities of herbicides, often more toxic types, which additionally negatively affect the environment. This results in greater expenses. Farmers also sustain losses due to rising prices for genetically modified seeds and the need to use more herbicides," says Joanna Miś, Polish coordinator of the Greenpeace-launched "Stop GMO" campaign.
