摘要

Mexico has given a long-awaited green light to experimental biotech corn plantings, but opponents are preparing to mount a legal battle that could delay implementation."This technology has a lot of promise, and even though it could benefit us in many ways, it comes with risks. We need to move forward cautiously, because the least desirable option is to prolong the pattern of doing nothing at all," says Ariel Alvarez, chairman of the Joint Biosafety and GMO Commission.
