Hungary was also among the countries that declared war on GMO crops. Most unexpectedly, the country destroyed a thousand acres of genetically modified corn.
The same crop was grown with genetically modified seeds, said Hungarian Deputy State Secretary at the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognyar.
In some EU countries, genetically modified seeds may be allowed, but in Hungary there is a ban, according to upriser.
According to Lajos Bognyar, the corn sown with genetic seeds has been destroyed. According to him, the pollen from the GMO culture is not distributed around the plantations. During the investigation into the maize in question, the competent authorities found that the producer of the illegally planted seeds was Monsanto. Crop inspections will continue in the future.
Hungary is one of the few countries that opposes GMO crops. About a month ago, Scotland also said it had no intention of growing genetically modified crops on its territory.
The country's decision is related to its great desire to keep its status in a clean and green place. Agriculture Minister Richard Lockheath made no secret of the fact that growing such crops in Scotland could tarnish the country's good image.
The topic of GMO crops has been hotly debated by many experts for many years. The reason is that they are entering our lives more and more, and at the same time science knows too little about them.
Numerous experiments have already shown that eating genetically modified fruits, vegetables and grains leads to disturbing changes in laboratory rodents and some other members of the animal kingdom.
This leads scientists to believe that they would be dangerous to humanity. According to them, the consumption of these foods would lead to infertility, allergies, cancer, overweight, deteriorating immune system, liver problems.
Researchers have linked the consumption of such foods to specific conditions such as autism. However, as the cultivation of GMO crops is much more profitable for business, it is widely practiced in many countries.
