Repercusiones sociales y ambientales de la soja transgénica en la alimentación industrial del ganado
Abstract
Fifty per cent of intensive animal feeding contains soybean (Glycine max), mainly genetically modified Roundup Ready® soybean from Monsanto.In USA, RR soybean growing has increased 15 times the use of glifosate, herbicide that destroys primary organisms in ecosystems, threatening survival of trophic chains. In Argentina, soybean growing has increased from 800.000 to 13.000.000 hectares during the last seven years, deforesting rainforest and savannas, and using soil formerly employed for pastures and human food production; reducing biodiversity and food production for Argentinean people.
The intensification of livestock productive model in Spain causes environmental degradation and poverty in other countries. Food sovereignty proposes other productive models, more local and respectful with environment and people.
