Karen Hansen-Kuhn of IATP writes that Adelita San Vicente Tello, a leader of the Mexican Sin Maíz No Hay País campaign, is moving into the López Obrador administration. More than 200 Mexican scientists and civil society leaders had asked the president for a biosafety decree that would ban permits for GMO corn planting and impose a moratorium on U.S. corn imports.

The proposals would be phased in.
