Monsanto loses key legal decision in US, GE beets to be dug up

Monsanto loses key legal decision in US, GE beets to be dug up

Paul Achitoff of Earthjustice, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, said

“USDA thumbed its nose at the judicial system and the public by allowing this crop to be grown without any environmental review. Herbicide resistant crops just like this have been shown to result in more toxic chemicals in our soil and water. USDA has shown no regard for the environmental laws, and we’re pleased that Judge White ordered the appropriate response.”
