Another Biodemocracy Victory in Northern California

Trinity County California Votes to Ban Genetically Engineered Crops

 

It was another bad day for Monsanto and the Biotech Bullies and another

victory for the grassroots. Today, August 3, 2004, Trinity County,

California became the second county in the nation to ban the production

of genetically engineered (GE) crops and animals. By a vote of three to

one, Trinity County Supervisors moved to ban GE crops and animals in

order to protect Trinity's local economy, including its growing organic

sector, and the environment. Today's decision comes in the wake of a

March 2 ballot victory by voters in another Northern California county,

Mendocino, banning GE crops.
