# Environmental Reform: Ban on Genetically Modified Corn | Wilson Center

> Mexico's proposed constitutional reform would prohibit the use and cultivation of genetically modified corn, following earlier decrees phasing out GM corn and glyphosate. The reform outlines gradual replacement of GM corn in industrial use and animal feed as non-GM options become available.

## Why it matters
