International court calls on Mexico to ban genetically modified corn

偷懒,就不翻译了,摘录一部分,主要担心是 independent food production并且认为这些玉米完全不必要。
Recognizing that GMOs inherently undermine traditional food production systems, the Tribunal also declared in its indictment that GMOs need to be banned because they are the "ultimate weapons against independent food production... and the corporations that control them." This is particularly true in regions where agriculture is subsisted by many smaller farms rather than a few larger farms.
Besides this, GM maize isn't even necessary. It won't serve any purpose other than to potentially reduce yields, consolidate control into the hands of a few powerful corporations and increase the risk that corn crops will fail. And all this while farmers end up getting locked into contracts with corporations like Monsanto, which will bleed them dry, steal their land and eliminate all biodiversity and food sovereignty.
In 2013, a group of activists and organizations filed a class action lawsuit against the Mexican government to stop it from issuing grow permits for GM maize. The effort put an immediate stop to the permits and all plantings, but the case is currently pending, which means it could be overturned and the plantings will resume, unless an official ban is enacted.
