Italy was one of the first nations to ban its production and sale, arguing that the measure would protect the country's food culture and the livelihoods of rural producers; shortly thereafter, the United States followed a similar path, enacting legal restrictions that halted multi-million dollar investments in a sector previously considered one of modern biotechnology's greatest prospects.
