Bolivia gives green light and $2 billion support for GM soy to produce biodiesel

In Bolivia, Spain’s EFE news agency reports that the government has deregulated the use of GM soy on 250,000 acres as well as $2 billion funding for funding and infrastructure so farmers may grow feedstock in the Santa Cruz region as feedstock for biodiesel production. Droughts and floods have caused more than $168 million in crop losses this summer in the region so farmers are looking for ways to help them recover, including GM soy as well as GM corn.
