In a groundbreaking move, Mexico has passed a Constitutional amendment to ban the planting of genetically modified (GMO) corn seeds, predominantly imported from the United States. The decision is designed to safeguard native corn species and preserve centuries-old agricultural traditions. 🌽
Agricultural experts and Mexican officials suggest this measure will have sweeping implications for agriculture, trade, and food sovereignty. This bold initiative is sparking vibrant discussions among young professionals, students, and culture enthusiasts alike—reminding us that sometimes, protecting our roots is key to nurturing a sustainable future. CGTN’s Franc Contreras reports from Mexico City as this new chapter unfolds.
