ORGANIC FARMERS TO HAVE DAY IN COURT AGAINST MONSANTO?
Judge Agrees to Hear Oral Arguments Representing Thousands of Farmers
Explaining the Danger Genetically Modified Organisms Present to Food Systems
Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) won a victory in their lawsuit to prevent Monsanto from contaminating their crops, when the Judge agreed to hear oral arguments from farmers asserting the risks of GMO contamination. OSGATA President Jim Gerritsen will report the results of the arguments in a live webcast presented by healthcare education advocacy website MedicineCrow.com on February 8th, 2012.
“We are grateful that Judge Buchwald has agreed to our request to hear oral argument on the motion,” said Jim Gerritsen, President of lead plaintiff OSGATA. “Last August we submitted our written rebuttal and it made clear that Monsanto’s motion was without merit. Our legal team, from the Public Patent Foundation, is looking forward to orally presenting our position. The family farmers deserve their day in court. We are anxious that this case go to trial as soon as possible so that our innocent farmers may receive Court protection.”
Shortly after the oral arguments are heard in federal district court, Jim Gerritsen will be hosted in an interview with David Crow on MedicineCrow.comto share the results. “This case against Monsanto is the most important event affecting not only organic farmers but food security for the world,” said MedicineCrow founder David Crow. “Monsanto needs to be held accountable for the release of genetically modified organisms into the environment, which have unknowable results to plants’ genetic lineages.”
“The purpose of MedicineCrow is to collect and disseminate information on natural health and plant-based medicine,” David continued, “and in this vein we intend to help Jim and OSGATA reach as wide an audience as possible.”
