Kabacan (Philippines) town council agrees to Bt-eggplant field trial
The field testing of genetically modified eggplants at a state university in Kabacan town in North Cotabato could go full blast, the provincial board said in a resolution passed on Thursday. The resolution came after months of deliberation by board members on whether or not the field testing at the University of Southern Mindanao violated the provincial environment code. Although it did not ban the testing of genetically modified organisms, the provincial environment code stressed the ”precautionary principle” in genetic engineering.
