Every now and then we get some good news. Happily it’s not all gloom and doom!
The Center for Food Safety reported this week that the U.S. Court of Appeals would uphold an earlier ruling over the impacts of Monsanto’s genetically engineered “Roundup Ready” sugar beets. The previous rulings that favor farmers and conservation advocates will remain in place!
Center for Food Safety (CFS) attorney George Kimbrell:
“Today’s order cements a critical legal benchmark in the battle for meaningful oversight of biotech crops and food. Because of this case, there will be public disclosure and debate on the harmful impacts of these pesticide-promoting crops, as well as legal protections for farmers threatened by contamination.”
