German chemicals giant BASF is closing its biotech division in Germany. The move was prompted by massive resistance to genetically modified food among both the public and politicians.

+ add your ownI would like to see GMO's rejected everywhere in all countries. They are not meant to exist at all. Definitely not consumed.
Great stuff
may the US follow Germany's example (note: the food companies already do this labelling for European countries--just need to do the same in US)
I wish I could order produce from Germany or maybe from Europe who also rejected GMO.(O_O)
Good to hear Germany said NO GMO,I don't mind the cold I can adapt quick.:-)
I wish it was not so cold in Germany I would move there
Congratulations to the people of Germany for taking this bold and important step to insure biological integrity of food supplies for future generations.
Good for Germany! Now for the rest of the countries to follow! :)
This is great. Wish I lived there.
Way to go Germany!
