Mexico approves rules to begin planting GM corn

Mexico, widely thought to be the birthplace of corn, said on Wednesday it will begin allowing experimental planting of genetically modified crops, despite resistance from some farmers who question their safety. The regulations published in the official gazette are the last step needed to implement a law passed by Mexico’s Congress in December 2004 that authorizes controlled GMO plantings.
