If you saw the film Food Inc., you heard Michael Pollan talking about the prosecution of farmers across the country by Monsanto for patent infringement. Starting several years ago, CFS discovered that Monsanto, the world’s leading agriculturalbiotechnology company, has used heavy-handed investigations and ruthless prosecutions that have fundamentally changed the way many American farmers farm. The agribusiness giant has sued hundreds of farmers over GMO crops, and has been awarded more than $20 million from these farmers. The result has been nothing less than an assault on the foundations of farming practices and traditions that have endured for centuries in this country and millennia around the world, including one of the oldest – the right to save and replant crop seed.

CFS has been at the forefront of protecting farmers from these assaults by Monsanto. We have uncovered this startling practice of Monsanto suing farmers via our groundbreaking report “Monsanto vs. U.S. Farmers.”  We’ve helped and participated in farmer’s legal defense again Monsanto. And we’ve set up a hotline for farmers to call if they’re facing lawsuits or threats from Monsanto to help them get guidance and legal referrals. Please help CFS stop this corporate persecution of our farmers in its tracks by supporting our work today.

Monsanto is polluting American farms with its genetically engineered crops, not properly informing farmers about these altered seeds, and then profiting from its own irresponsibility and negligence by suing innocent farmers.

We here at CFS promise to continue to fight in support of farmers and against Monsanto and other agricultural biotechnology companies.  But we need your help.  Please join Michael Pollan in supporting our work and help CFS stand up for our farmers by donating generously today!
