Peru's capital declares itself a GMO-free zone

Peru's capital Lima declared itself a "GMO-free zone" in a municipal ordinance on Thursday in response to a controversial government decree that critics feared would see the country flooded with genetically modified organisms.

The New Politics of Food Scarcity, Soaring food prices and political unrest

Richard Ferguson, global head of agriculture at Renaissance Capital, an investment bank specializing in emerging markets, told The Guardian newspaper in the UK [1] that the problems were likely to spread. “Food prices are absolutely core to a lot of these disturbances.
