Dr. Tyler Flockhart, University of Guelph researcher
Earlier this month, the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada) released a research report that ties the dramatic decline of the monarch butterfly to the pervasive use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) crops across the United States.
Monarch butterfly – a pollinator
In this Deep Roots Radio interview, researcher and co-author Dr. Tyler Flockhart describes how his team identified the industrial agricultural practice of planting and spraying GMO cropland as a dominant contributor to the 90% decline in the monarch butterfly population in the eastern United States.
I hope you find his remarks as interesting as I did. Let me know what you think.
