South Africaβs Supreme Court reverses approval of Monsantoβs GMO maize after a nine-year battle led by the African Center for Biodiversity, citing unaddressed safety concerns.

The decision raises crucial questions about the regional impact of GMOs on African nations reliant on South African imports and sets a precedent for greater scrutiny on GMO safety across the continent.
