Anti-GM map inaccurate

An online map identifying Australian farms growing genetically -modified (GM) crops is another example of misinformation in the digitalspace.

Disappointingly, t he map contains outdated information that misrepresents Australian agriculture ‘s use and location of GM crops.

The introduction of GM cotton in 1996 has fostered significant positive change for our industry.

Coupled with the implementation of Integrated Pest Management techniques, the growing of GM cotton has seen us reduce our use ofsynthetic insecticides by 95%.

Cotton Australia encourages anyone wanting to learn about GM cotton to visit the Cotton Australia websi te -co ttonaustralia.com.au/fact-sheet.
