An opinion piece argues that Mexico should ban genetically modified corn to protect native maize biodiversity, citing the country's role as corn's center of origin. It warns that GM pollen can drift through open-air pollination and contaminate non-GM landraces.
The author frames the debate around the national slogan 'sin maíz, no hay país' during Independence Day month.
