  3. DesiredobjectiveswiththeGOM

  4. Characteristics mostly desired to obtain

  5. Most genetically modified organisms are transgenic food, however, these two concepts are not synonymous. GMO foods GMO Footer text here

  14. Labelling In order to be marketed, theGOM shouldbe, initially, subjected to a very rigorous evaluation process and then, labeled, respecting the rules on labeling and traceabilityofproducts. All food products containing more than 0.9 percent of GMOs in its composition, must include this information on the label. Footer text here

  16. IN PORTUGAL

  17. Areas of Cultivation of GMOs in Portugal

  18. In Portugal the cultivation of GMOs are only of transgenic corn. Portugal is at position 22 in countries with transgenic crops in 2012, with 5 million ha planted.

  19. The corn crops have a transformation named as: MON810 Genetically modified with a gene to survive pests.

  20. The main reason for the cultivation of transgenic corn by portuguese farmers are resistance to attack by the borer, a pest that can reach serious proportions, affecting crops.

  23. Legislation

  24. It is essential increase the information available on this topic and transmit it to society to understand what GMOs are, and so express your freedom to choose, even though many technical aspects are complex, one has to know!

  25. Thank you for your attention!
