Biotech NEws - U.S. Sued on Biotech Alfalfa OK >From Reuters
A coalition of farmers, consumers and environmental activists Thursday sued the U.S. government over its approval of a biotech alfalfa that critics say will spell havoc for farmers and the environment. Opening another front in the battle over genetically modified crops, the lawsuit contends that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is improperly allowing Monsanto Co. to sell an herbicide-resistant alfalfa seed while failing to analyze the public health, environmental and economic consequences of that action. http://www.latimes.com/technology/la-fi-alfalfa17feb17,1,1793661.story?coll==la-headlines-technology&ctrack==1&cset==true "The USDA failed to do a full environmental review when they deregulated this genetically engineered alfalfa," said Will Rastov, an attorney for the Center for Food Safety, one of the plaintiffs. http://www.arizonabiotech.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biotech-news/ http://www.arizonabiotech.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biotech-news/ http://www.arizonaentrepreneurs.com/ http://www.azhttp.com/ Yahoo!
