Hello,
I am teaching a course on Agricultural Law at the undergraduate level and am planning to cover some of the legal issues that surround GM crops. I am looking for the most recent edition of your publication Monsanto vs U.S. Farmers to be able to find specific cases that my students can read. Is there a way to get access to this document with your website down?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Hello,
I too would like a copy of your publication Monsanto vs. U.S. Farmers, and would be interested to know how I could go about getting one.
Thank you for all the great work that you do,
Although I am unable to afford your membership fee, as I am on an extremely limited fixed income, I fully support all your efforts to stop Monsanto in their efforts to “take over” American agriculture. The nondiversification of crops that has already occurred in agribusiness over the last generations is bad enough and leaves us all subject to potential destruction of our economy and basic food supply. If Genetically modified foods and their production methods are all they are said to be then they should be outlawed and Monsanto made to face prosecution for public endangerment. you have my full support in your efforts, and may I suggest you find a way to bring the matter before the general public nationwide for a vote to ban their continued use, and an end to the tactics I’ve read and seen them using on the farmers in the agribelt of our nation.
Do you guys ever take on chain restaurants to find out if they use GMOs in their meals? I’d like to know if there is a restaurant out there that can make the claim that they are GMO free.
