GMO crops are widely grown across the world, but remain controversial in Europe, where very few varieties are authorized for growing and countries like France have completely outlawed their cultivation, citing environmental risks. The destruction was carried out before the flowering of crops, which could have led to the spreading of the non-authorized GMO variety.
