ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

GMO's in Costa Rica - Here's a Map Showing KNOWN GMO Plants that have REPORTED Planted in Costa Rica

(La Voz) The majority of farms using genetically modified cotton, corn and soy seeds, also known as GMOs, are located in Guanacaste, in the areas around Cañas, Las Juntas and Liberia, according to a map produced by the State Phytosanitary Service (SFE – Servicio Fitosanitario del Estao) and obtained by The Voice of Guanacaste.

For more details on this read the article at:
InsideCostaRica.com/2014/10/01/map-shows-gmos-planted-costa-rica


What gets me on this GMO topic, don't people question why Monsanto isn't all up in arms when counties or cities are saying "NO!!" to GMO's these days - when just a few years ago they were taking tiny farms to court (& winning) because Monsanto's seeds blew into the neighboring farms & Monsanto was "winning" these farms???

Could it be because GMO's have ALREADY pretty much polluted the WHOLE WORLD??  If it didn't happen by someone intentionally planting them, it DID from cross pollination from the wind blowing them or you planting some seeds you bought at your local Ferreteria.

Think about it peeps.  Doesn't that make sense???  Hmmmmmm . . .
