A story has arisen telling of an organic farm in France being contaminated with genetically modified maize, with organicconsumers.org reporting that the farm’s “produce has been contaminated with genes from transgenic maize, although the closest plots of GM maize are officially over 35 kilometres distant from their fields…GMOs did not really worry the two farmers until a routine analysis, conducted by the Regional Cooperative of Organic Agriculture (Corab), revealed the contamination of their corn by the release of transgenic maize in the environment. This case has brought a full parliamentary review of the GMO Act. The Socialist MP Deux-Sevres, Delphine Batho, also referred it to the tribunal of the National Assembly in order to denounce the risks of transgenic plants and the lack of safeguards surrounding their cultivation.”

This is a definite risk with organic farms all over the world, as these genetically modified seeds and crops that are being utilized by farmers and companies eager to stave off the impending droughts and other global-warming-induced natural conditions.
