Brazil is one of the countries with the largest crop sourcing of genetically modified crops in the world.

Walking into the office of the Soybean Institute, a Brazilian agricultural research company, you can see that many laboratories have "biosecurity" signs on their doors, and those who want to enter these labs need to sign up to ensure that they do not touch the experimental materials, as this is the site for research on genetically modified seeds.
Brazil is one of the world's most genetically modified crops, the brazilian government has strict rules on the use of GM technology.
Brazilian law requires GM crops to be safe, and there are a number of procedures, such as strict isolation, for GM crops, from research to commercial cultivation. "Since the introduction of GM technology into Brazil, we have been following up research, and while ensuring that products are harmless to human health, government agencies and businesses need to control the outflow of genetic material, and have someone in all laboratories and test fields to control the movement of people and appliances to avoid 'genetic contamination' between seeds," said Jose Renato Bosas, director of the Soy Research Institute at the
Agricultural Research Corporation.
in addition, new soybeans need to be tested in the experimental fields of agricultural research companies before they can be certified, and seeds are sent to pilot farms in regional cooperatives before they can be planted in their own fields. Lucas Simas de Oliveira, director of the pilot farm at the Campmorang Farming Cooperative,
, said that when the seeds are certified, they can be planted in order to yield more, and how new seeds differ from previous seed planting methods, and the cooperative will guide them.
, especially soil management, pest control testing, etc., the cooperative society simulates the ecological environment of nearby farms for cultivation, and then, through the cooperative's annual winter and summer meetings, the cultivation of new varieties of technology is passed on to local farmers.
it is understood that although GM technology entered Brazil in 1998, it was around 2005 when most farmers began to grow the first generation of GM soybeans;
despite this, seed developers will open small test fields on some farms to observe the growth and harvest of genetically modified soybeans on the ground.
reporters learned that the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation's soybean planting plan also includes a non-GMO soybean program, and in July 2017 set up a non-GMO soybean research institute, specializing in non-GMO soybean production technology.
Bosas says retaining conventional soybean cultivation is a necessary condition for GM soybean cultivation.
Brazilian law, every farm growing GM soybeans must have at least 20 percent of non-GMO soybeans, in order to serve as a "sanctuary" for weeds and pests to survive and not quickly become more resistant.
retaining non-GMO soybeans in Brazil is not just a guarantee that "super weeds" and "superbugs" will not quickly form in GM soybean fields, but also see sourcing demand for non-GMO soybeans in Europe and China. "Although we have been upgrading agricultural science and technology and cultivating GM varieties, we know that non-GMO soybeans are still in a large international market, especially in China and Europe, so we are proud to say that we will continue to retain the cultivation of non-GMO soybeans,"
Said.
