Sowing Disaster

An investigation into the controversy surrounding the discovery of genes from genetically altered corn in the croplands of Capulalpan, Mexico. In this cover story for The Nation, reporter Mark Schapiro explores how genetically modified corn found its way from the United States into a Mexican agricultural region thought to be free of GM seed, and the implications for the environment and human health. This is a CIR investigation, published in connection with "Sowing Disaster," a segment for PBS Now with Bill Moyers, also produced by Mark Schapiro.
