Brazil Government considering approval of Bayer’s LibertyLink
Brazil’s biosafety agency, CTNBio, said Tuesday that the group will discuss possible commercial approval of LibertyLink technology from Bayer CropScience for Brazil’s corn farmers. LibertyLink was rejected in the last two meetings by the vegetable and plant safety committee, a press agent said, because of lingering doubts on the technologies impact on local plants. Other committees, such as animal and environmental impact committees, have also yet to approve of Bayer’s genetically modified corn.
