We (in the form of the USDA) say yes to Dow chemical and Monsanto and their herbicide-drenched#version of intensive agriculture.
This new GM corn variety is a joint project between Dow and Monsanto containing resistance to different varieties of herbicide.
because the hope of Dow and Monsanto is that they will be able to stay one step ahead of the superweeds they hope don t develop,
invested in Monsanto, supports a high-tech vision of agriculture, rather than the low-tech, affordable, diverse, climate-resistant,
In 1998, African scientists at a United nations conference strongly objected to Monsanto s promotional GE campaign that used photos of starving African children under the headline Let the Harvest Begin.#
#Thousands of U s. farmers have been forced to pay Monsanto tens of millions of dollars in damages for the crime#of saving seed.
and the United states steer a different course than the one advocated by Gates, Monsanto, Dow,
In 1996, for example, biotechnology firm Monsanto of St louis, Missouri, introduced the first of its popular Roundup Ready products:
a soya bean equipped with a bacterial gene that allows it to tolerate a Monsanto-made glyphosphate herbicide known as Roundup.
including Monsanto s Bt cotton: a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.
and interferon for multiple sclerosis and crops like Monsanto s Roundup Ready soybeans was based on relatively crude methods for inserting a gene from one organism into another.
But even Monsanto, the agricultural biotechnology giant in St louis, Missouri, was surprised by the furore that followed
In 1999, Monsanto s chief executive pledged not to commercialize terminator seeds. The concept, if not the technology, is now gaining traction again.
This week, the US Supreme court hears arguments that pit Monsanto against 75-year-old Indiana soya-bean farmer Vernon Hugh Bowman
who used the progeny of Monsanto seeds to sow his land for eight seasons. The company says that by not buying seeds for each generation,
"If I were at Monsanto and I learned that patents are not available to protect my soybeans,
Bowman was a regular customer for Monsanto s herbicide-resistant soya beans for his main crop,
but bypassed the company by purchasing seed for a late-season crop from a grain elevator known to contain Monsanto s transgenic seed.
Monsanto sued him. As the case climbed through the court system, it grew from a simple contract violation to a challenge of the idea that companies can use patents to limit the offspring of naturally self-replicating technologies.
The lower courts sided with Monsanto, and many were surprised when the Supreme court took up the appeal.
Patents owned by Monsanto required the insertion of three different genes into the plant genome.
Monsanto says it is currently not researching the techniques, and other companies are hoping that they will not have to."
Agricultural giants Monsanto, based in St  Louis, Missouri, and Syngenta, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, are vying to license the technology."
and biotech worlds Shetterly wrote in her piece though her piece does little to explain why beyond the notion that powerful agricultural corporations like Monsanto are preventing research into unknown allergens that might arise from genetic engineering.
Monsanto is a multi-billion dollar corporation. It's massive. They have the pockets to spread their garbage
They just passed a silent bill that states companies like Monsanto cannot be sued or stopped if the genetically modified food causes harmful side effects.
As the Washington Times points out the provision s success is viewed by many as a victory by companies like Syngenta Corp Cargill Monsanto

The study cited in the article was a 2-year toxicology study of rats fed Monsanto's Roundup-resistant NK103 maize (corn) and the herbicide Roundup.

After proposing the use of rats in long-term experiments it exposed that Monsanto and every other case study did not do a long-term study.
in order to avoid being sued by corporations like Monsanto in case of accidental seed distribution. They made the law
because about 11 farmers a year get sued for this reason in the United states. There's no need to point at one case since Monsanto won every case.
Monsanto simply outspends the defendants dedicating $10 million a year and 75 staffers for the sole purpose of investigating
Farmers who have sued Monsanto back have been defeated soundly. More sources on this documentation: http://thinkprogress. org/health/2012/11/21/1224761/farmers-insurance-sued-by-corporations/Monsanto claims not to sue farmers who have been cross pollinated by their neighbor's crops
but every year they sue and are paid when that trace amount becomes questionable. They claim they don't
Monsanto website states this: Can a farmer be sued when a small amount of GM crop seed blows into a neighbor s fields?
It has never been nor will it be Monsanto policy to exercise its patent rights where trace amounts of our patented traits are present in farmers fields as a result of inadvertent means.
Instead the burden of proof is on Monsanto to investigate the legitimacy of these claims and to resolve the issue as quickly
Sincerely-Joewww. joesid. comeven with Monsanto's disturbing sphere of influence both inside and outside government it is still surprising to see such disbelief that GMO's negatively impact health.
What a credit to Monsanto's propaganda. Thank you Tangsten for exposing the raving origins of
A study was published recently examining adverse effects of Bacillus thuringensis (aka the Bt toxin) that Monsanto builds into their corn and soy.
and he's kind of an expert. http://wwwi-sis. org. uk/Bt-toxin. phpit is no coincidence that Monsanto has invested so much money in our politicians and against measures such as California's Prop 37.
Why else would Monsanto help raise $45 million to prevent a bill requiring them and other companies to label GMO's on their products?
1. A 2008 long-term study commissioned by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food safety looked at how Monsanto s genetically modified corn currently eaten
ÃÃÚÂ Ã 2. A comparative analysis published in the International Journal of Biological sciences examined the health effects of three different varieties of Monsanto-developed GMO corn on mice.
Monsanto s GMO corn is engineered to be immune to glyphosate-based weed-killers such as Monsanto s trademarked Roundupãherbicide used on crops and fields nationwide.
