Non-GMO corn pushed in Negros Occidental (Philippines)

Corn farmers in Negros Occidental should be able to meet local demand without having to use genetically modified varieties, given the availability of modern post-harvest facilities, [...] Rommel Ledesma, executive director of Negros Island Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (NISARD), told reporters [...] ”There’s no question about the number of farmers [who want to plant corn] and even the hectarage. There’s more than enough [land],” said Mr. Ledesma.
