Bhutan is becoming world’s first wholly organic country .
Also the following countries and territories have banned or restricted the import, distribution, sale, utilization, field trials and commercial planting of GMO’s:
Latin America: Brazil, Paraguay , Bolivia has enacted a total ban of GMOs and Mexico has banned GM corn.
Africa: Algeria, Egypt
Asia: Sri Lanka, Thailand, China, Japan, Phillipines
The European Union: Norway, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Greece, France, Poland, Luxembourg, Portugal.
Middle East: Saudi Arabia

North America: Maryland has banned GE (genetically engineered) fish and North Dakota and Montana have filed bans on GE wheat. The Municipalities of Burlington, Vermont (declared a moratorium on GE food), Boulder, Colorado (bans on GE crops) and the City and County of San Francisco (urged the federal government to ban GE food) are the only towns or states to take some sort of stand against plants, animals, foods, crops and body products that are, or contain Genetically Modified Organisms.
