The US–Mexico Dispute Over GM Corn Safety Could Transform American Agriculture
Mexico says genetically modified corn is a threat to its unique cultural diet and native strains of maize—and quite possibly the health of its citizens.
Update: The United States won its legal dispute with Mexico. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) final ruling was reported on Dec. 20, 2024. Mexico has been ordered to comply with the findings and allow genetically modified corn to be imported.
Mexico’s effort to keep genetically modified corn out of the country is triggering a trade dispute with the United States and Canada that could affect the future of agriculture.
