At first, everything looked rosy. From 1997 to 2002, the area under soya cultivation increased by 75 per cent and yields increased by 173 per cent. Some years ago, however, a few agrono- mists started to sound alarm bells, warning that the wholesale and unmonitored shift into Roundup Ready soya was causing unforeseen problems. In a study published in 2001, agricultural economics consultant Charles Benbrook reported that Roundup Ready soya growers in Argentina were using more than twice as much herbicide as conventional soya farm- ers, largely because of unexpected prob- lems with tolerant weeds. Benbrook advised Argentinian farmers to reduce their Roundup Ready acreage by as much as half in order to cut glyphosate usage. If they did not, he warned they would run the risk of serious problems. Among his predictions were shifts in the composition of weed species, the emer- gence of resistant superweeds and changes in soil microbiology. Benbrook was right. A study into the impact of Roundup Ready soya on weeds by Delma Faccini of the National University of Rosario found that several previously uncommon species of glyphosate-tolerant weed had increased in abundance. Worse still, changes in soil microbiology also appeared to be happening. "Because so much herbicide is being used, soil bacteria are declining and the soil is becoming inert, which is inhibiting the usual process of decomposition," says agronomist Adolfo Boy from the Grupo de Reflexién Rural, a group of agronomists opposed to GM farming. "In some farms, the dead vegetation even has to be brushed off the land." Argentina used to be one of the world's major suppliers of food, particularly wheat and beef. But the "soyarisation" of the economy, as the Argentinians call it, has changed that. About 150,000 small farm- ers have been driven off the land. As yet, few countries have opted for GM technology: the US and Argentina together account for 84 per cent of the GM crops planted in the world. But as others, includ- ing the UK, seem increasingly prepared to authorise the commercial growing of GM crops, they may be well advised to look to Argentina to see how it can go wrong.
