Time for straight talk about transgenics in Chile?
In Chile, transgenic seeds may only be planted to produce crops for export. However, imported transgenic foods can be eaten here. Both those in favour of and against transgenics, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), agree on the need to regulate an area described as "confusing," "contradictory" and "inconsistent." Environmental organisations have been on red alert since a bill was introduced in Congress to promote cultivation of GMOs in order to develop the biofuels industry.
