Wild-growing genetically modified (GM) canola (rapeseed) plants have been found at many locations around Japan on numerous occasions, even though GM crops are not grown on a commercial scale in Japan. It was spilled from trucks near the importing harbors along the coast and GM pollution started to occur at many locations. The results of the citizen's investigative activities since 2005 will be presented at this side event.
