GM Soy Symbol Of Death
Cultivation of genetically modified (GM) soy in the South American country of Paraguay has risen dramatically in recent years, currently topping nearly 6.5 million acres. With this rise has come massive deforestation, the conversion of formerly diversified polyculture into a system of monoculture, and most notably the poisoning of natives with chemical herbicides and pesticides that are sprayed on GM soy in order to make it grow. As a result, GM soy now represents nothing more than a "symbol of death" to natives that have been impacted by it, according to a recent report in The Telegraph.
