Brazil govt agency flags 'hazards, uncertainties' in GM crop

A government agency in Brazil, the world's second largest producer of GM crops, has cited over 750 studies, including some from India, to highlight "hazards and uncertainties" related to commercial cultivation of such varieties of crops.

The report comes amidst anti-GM activists in India upping the ante against commercial cultivation of GM mustard and the country's biotech regulator- Genetic Engineering Approval Committee- awaiting a final report from a sub-committee.

The report 'Transgenic Crops hazards and uncertainties: more than 750 studies disregarded by the GMOs regulatory bodies' was conducted by Special Secretariat for Family Farming and Agrarian Development of Brazil.
