Why Canada’s Non-GMO Mustard is Under Siege from High-Tech Canola
·3 min
This episode examines the agricultural conflict between Canada's non-GMO mustard industry and a new genetically modified canola hybrid that threatens cross-contamination. With Europe's zero-tolerance GMO policies, even trace amounts could trigger export bans, potentially repeating the Triffid disaster that devastated Canada's flax industry. The episode explores whether the promised 10% yield increase from GM canola justifies risking Canada's position as the world's leading mustard supplier.
