The move to ban genetically modified organisms in Europe is gaining ground, with more than half of European Union member nations now having adopted one, and the rest being pressured to follow suit.

As reported by The Guardian, governments in 15 of the European Union’s 28 member nations and three of its regions have decided to opt out of a new GM crop plan under new rules agreed upon in March; thus, delivering a major blow against agricultural biotechnology giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, two of the world’s biggest GM seed makers.

What’s more, applications from the governments of Greece and Latvia have also been accepted as well. If the pattern continues, fully two-thirds of Europe’s arable land and population will be GMO-free.

The successive bans in the EU have already sent industry giants panicking, as you might imagine, with some warning that the whole of the European continent could become a “graveyard” for biotech products. Environmentalists, on the other hand, have praised the opting out and hope to see more of it.
