Farm harm

More on the decision by Brazil to allow GM crops to be grown. It seems
only farmers who already grow GM seeds illegally will be allowed to
plant them, which effectively means only farmers in Brazil's
southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul. They will have to sign a
document that makes them financially responsible for any potential
damage to health or the environment - something the British government
has been wrestling over and says is impossible.
