Mexico Bans GM Corn Cultivation in Constitution

I wrote the following extended analysis of Mexico’s unprecedented constitutional amendment banning the cultivation of genetically modified corn. The amendment protects Mexico’s rich store of native corn from the kinds of flawed reasoning exhibited by the three-member trade panel that ruled in favor of a U.S. complaint against Mexico’s GM corn restrictions. As I write here, “At every opportunity to assess such evidence, the tribunal shrank from responsibility, In so doing, the panel failed to resolve any of the important scientific questions raised by the case.”
