South Australia to continue GM crops ban

The South Australian government says its moratorium on genetically modified crops will remain, even though the Bureau of Rural Sciences has found that genetically modified canola crops would make the industry more sustainable. The bureau says GM crops make pest and weed management easier and are likely to increase crop yields. Agriculture Minister Rory McEwen says GM crops pose too much of a risk on the green image of industries such as wine.
