GMO debate in Boulder (USA) could stretch on for another year
The county commissioners could have made a final decision Tuesday night on a request by six local farmers to grow Roundup Ready sugar beets [...] But instead, the commissioners delayed their vote and asked the open space staff to create a broader vision for managing the 17,000 acres of cropland owned by the county. ”I don’t think today is the right day to make a final decision about genetically modified beets,” Commissioner Ben Pearlman said at the end of a seven-hour-long public meeting that lasted until nearly midnight. ”They need to be part of a comprehensive look at what we want out of agriculture on our county’s open space land.”
