Ireland adopts GM-free zone policy

Government to ban cultivation of all GM crops

DublinThe Irish Government will ban the cultivation of all GM crops

and introduce a voluntary GM-free label for food – including meat, poultry, eggs, fish, crustaceans, and dairy produce made without the use of GM animal feed.

The policy was adopted as part of the Renewed Programme for Government agreed between the two coalition partners, the centre-right Fianna Faíl and the Green Party, after the latter voted to support it on Saturday.
