[When I first looked into Monsanto and their God-damned "terminator" seeds, the ONLY place I could find articles was Russian press.]
3. Divergent Global MRL Thresholds
The relationship is further complicated because countries set drastically different glyphosate MRLs based on whether they permit GMO cultivation. For example:
Permissive GMO Nations: Countries like the United States and Canada allow the growth of GMOs and have steadily raised their glyphosate MRL tolerances to accommodate heavy chemical usage.
Strict Non-GMO Nations: The European Union and Russia maintain rigid restrictions on domestic GMO cultivation and enforce lower, tighter MRLs for glyphosate on imported food products to minimize dietary exposure.
If you are interested, we can look closer at how international grain shipments are rejected at ports when these chemical limits conflict, or look at how organic certification differs from standard non-GMO limits regarding glyphosate.
