・ The global cultivation area of GM crops in 2010 was 148 million hectares, an increase of 10% on the previous year.・ The number of countries planting GM crops increased to 29.・ In Japan, GM crops have not been cultivated, regardless of the fact that thousands of GM crops including maize are being imported. Japan should consider the "risks" of not allowing the cultivation of GM crops.・ GM crops are proven to be as safe or safer than conventional crops.
Editorial: The risks of turning our backs on GM crops(The Chemical Daily)
Miyazaki Prefecture GM Cotton GM Soybean have been tried, but having big anti-GM campaign
Labeling law Cut off limit for GM labeling (5% 0.9%) by Agency for Consumers
Minister of Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry ordered to close websites related to GM and also stopped committees for importation of GM crops for about 8 mo.
TPP ( Trans-Pacific Partnership ) pro vs. con, especially on agriculture.
Most of farmers (more correctly JA is against it)
Politicians know very little about GM and count well their votes.
Consumers (mostly coop people) like “organic products” (but they do not buy them)
