Organic Bolivia: In this week's One Planet, Mark Whittaker reports from Bolivia on the government's efforts to transform the country into an organic oasis in South America and to outlaw genetically modified crops.

We'll go deep into the Yungas region on the eastern slopes of the Andes to talk to the farmers who've swapped coca production for bananas and pay a visit to the comparatively wealthy farmers of the Amazon plane who've eagerly embraced GM technology.

We'll also speak to Bolivia's new agricultural minister and ask him can the country really buck South America's great GM trend?
