Half of European Union now rejects Monsanto imperialism: Consensus leans toward total GMO ban

 (NaturalNews) The move to ban genetically modified organisms in Europe
is gaining ground, with more than half of European Union member nations
now having adopted one, and the rest being pressured to follow suit.

As reported by The Guardian,
governments in 15 of the European Union's 28 member nations and three
of its regions have decided to opt out of a new GM crop plan under new
rules agreed upon in March; thus, delivering a major blow against
agricultural biotechnology giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, two of the world's biggest GM seed makers.

What's
more, applications from the governments of Greece and Latvia have also
been accepted as well. If the pattern continues, fully two-thirds of
Europe's arable land and population will be GMO-free.

The
successive bans in the EU have already sent industry giants panicking,
as you might imagine, with some warning that the whole of the European
continent could become a "graveyard" for biotech products.
Environmentalists, on the other hand, have praised the opting out and
hope to see more of it.
