GMO is illegal in france. If anything it is the lack of GMO causing the problem. No GMO crops means you must use incesticides in large quantities, with GMO crops you don’t need to use incesticides and therefore insects and the environment are less effected.
A good way fir France to tackle this problem would be to allow GMO crops. Alas, hysteria and superstition are against sensible solutions.
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoUsing GMO crops doesn't mean you don't need pesticides. The crops are engineered to withstand the pesticide, but you still have to use pesticide to protect the plants.
- JetSetWilly 9y agoIf you're using Bt GMO crops, you need to use way less incesticide. There's lots of sources on this, eg: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/2190-4715-24-24 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/2190-4715-24-24
