Poland Plans to Cut GMOs in Animal Feed

One of the key goals of proposed changes in the law is to boost the domestic production of crops with high protein content.
“At present, there is no equivalent to genetically engineered soybean meal in Europe,” said Adam Tański, head of the Grain and Feed Chamber. EU member states import over 30 million tons of soy and soybean meal annually, 90 percent of which is genetically engineered, according to the European Commission.
