Understanding the Agricultural Biotechnology Provisions in the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement
In a new policy brief, we analyze the agricultural biotechnology provisions of the USMCA. We examine actions by Mexico's government to promote the biodiversity of Mexican corn varieties and reduce the use of the herbicide glyphosate, and evaluate the claims that Mexico’s policies violate the USMCA’s agricultural biotechnology provisions.
We approach our work from a systems perspective.
IATP is a think tank that understands the interconnection between agriculture, trade and climate.
We see how interrelationships between issues within complex societal structures make it challenging to effect change but also open powerful opportunities.
We ask who has the power? Who wins and loses? Who is at the table when decisions are made?
We identify opportunities for big changes within trade, agriculture and climate policy. And we propose bold solutions that will bring us closer to our vision.
IATP organizes our work into distinct, yet interconnected areas to facilitate research, build relationships through collaboration and effect policy change. Learn more about our focus areas.
