The report notes that most grain elevators are not asking farmers to segregate. One major grain buyer, Cargill Inc., is even paying an extra 5 cents a bushel for soybeans that contain low amounts of dust and other foreign matter, which typically means the biotech variety. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_biotech.php3?2591 2) Biotechnology Helping To Save The Environment Modern agricultural practices, such as heavy tillage and overuse of chemicals, have led to environmental damage to our rivers and soils. Responsible use of the products of agricultural biotechnology can help solve these problems. (http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_us.php3?2594) 3) Foes of biotechnology ignore global hunger While activist organizations spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote fear through anti-science newspaper ads, 1.3 billion people, who live on less than $1 a day, care only about finding their next day's meal. Biotechnology is one of the best hopes for solving their food needs today, when we have 6 billion people, and certainly in the next 30 to 50 years, when there will be 9 billion on the globe. http://www.biotechknowledge.com/showlib_biotech.php3?2553 IN THE MEDIA CENTER - BACKGROUND INFO 1) Background Statement On Rifkin Lawsuit Long time opponents of biotechnology filed yet another lawsuit in a series of unsuccessful attempts to stop a technology with the potential to improve our environment, increase food production and improve health. This action also is intended to deny farmers around the world the choice of using improved seed. (http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto/mediacenter/background/99nov17_gma.html) 2) Over 300 Respected Scientists Sign Open Letter of Support for Biotechnology U.S. Senator Kit Bond led a press conference with several highly-respected U.S. scientists to share an open letter from more than 300 leading scientists on the benefits of biotechnology to human health and the environment in the new millennium at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Seattle, WA. Bond and the scientists challenged anti-technology protesters to forsake street theater and join those working constructively to find solutions to the challenges of the next century.
