Transgenics sweep Argentina
Increasing soy demand leads to greater soil damage, land concentration and campesino migration as transgenic soy farming spreads. One year ago, the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) displaced the United States as the world´s largest grain producer, bolstered by growing global demand for transgenic grains, particularly soy for animal feed. The trade bloc´s production in 2007 reached 105 million tons of soy — 72 percent of global supply.
