Extractions: @import "newstyles.css"; Here is where you can: Saskatchewan's certified organic farmers are taking Monsanto and Bayer Crop Science to court in a precedent setting class action lawsuit to stop genetically engineered wheat and to get compensation for losing canola as a crop due to genetic contamination. In December 2002, Monsanto applied simultaneously to the Canadian and American regulatory systems for approval to release Roundup Ready wheat as a commercial crop. In May 2004, after massive opposition from farmers, consumers and international wheat customers, Monsanto issued a press release saying the company would not proceed with commercializing Roundup Ready wheat at this time. On June 21, 2004 we learned that Monsanto has withdrawn its application for Roundup Ready wheat approval in Canada. However, the company indicated that it may introduce a genetically engineered wheat with other traits some time in the future so vigilance is still necessary. On August 30, 2005 we received the decision by Honourable Mr. Justice Cameron of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal granting us leave to appeal Judge Gene Ann Smith's May 11, 2005 decision.

Organic Agriculture Erosion Global Warming Climate Weather Chemical agricultural practices are contributing to global warming, climate change, weather pattern disruption, erosion, and starvation. http://supak.com/end/organic_agriculture.htm
Extractions: Hawaii Modern agriculture has given the once proud abbreviation agri a bad name. Chemical agricultural practices, using petroleum to supply essential plant nutrients, has become conventional farming, while organic farmers and organic farms that practice permaculture and alternative food production, are still considered outside the mainstream. Chemical agricultural parctices release nitrous oxide into the atmosphere and cause erosion, contributing to the geometric progression of global warming and climate change. This further damages our food supply.
