Mexico Crop Freeze and Monsanto GMO Push

A severe freeze in Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. has decimated produce crops, leading to a doubling or tripling of prices for tomatoes and zucchini. In the wake of this agricultural disaster, Monsanto is reportedly pushing for the adoption of frost-resistant genetically modified (GMO) seeds. The hosts suggest that environmental crises are often leveraged by biotech companies to bypass regulations on engineered crops.
