New EuropaBio Video: It's a Farmer's Choice
May 13, 2011| |
EuropaBio released its latest video titled "It's a farmer's choice" which tackles about the discretion of European farmers to choose the technology that they think would be best for their lands. According to the video, the European Union has already spent €300 M to study the safety of GMOs but all the involved research groups found no evidence that biotech crops are harmful to human health and the environment. Moreso, biotechnology has a wide range of benefits not just for farmers but also to consumers and environment.
