Abstract

In the European Union (EU), anti-GMO (genetically modified organisms) groups have a strong presence. The EU market is not favorable to GM products. Retailers are hesitant to sell products with GM labelling. Conventional and organic farmers, environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are working to enlarge GM-free zones. Although there are scientific societies arguing for the benefits of biotechnology or GMOs, many major EU member states like Italy, France, and Germany have banned GM maize crop for cultivation.
