Lawsuit Farmers vs Monsanto re Control of Crop Genetics
I became aware of this general issue on this site I believe in Andy's blog. It seems almost surreal to me - now Monsanto is trying to prevent farmers from planting certain crops because of cross-pollination with their patented genetically engineered varieties grown in neighboring fields. A group of farmers is suing Monsanto. Here is a link to the farmers' online petition. http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/farmersvs_monsanto/ [1]
