Precedent Setting USDA Ruling - GMO Alfalfa Banned A temporary ban on Monsanto's GMO alfalfa issued by U.S. District Judge Charles Boyer this past March was just made permanent on a nationwide scale, until "the government can adequately study the crop's potential impact on organic and conventional varieties." Organic Valley (and their 975 cooperative farmers) joined the Center for Food Safety in the fight against the sale of Monsanto's GMO alfalfa seed, stating that alfalfa drift (with a three mile or more pollination radius) threatens the integrity of certified organic alfalfa crops and will in turn

severely impact the market. The ruling includes the order to make public the locations of Roundup Ready alfalfa fields. Alfalfa is the country's third most valuable, and fourth most widely grown crop, with an annual value of $8 billion. Here marks the beginning to a major tipping of the scales.

Venezuela Prohibits GMO Crops, Dumps Monsanto Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias announced that GMO cultivation on Venezuelan soil is now prohibited, terminating a project with Monsanto in the name of food sovereignty and security, which is a requirement outlined in the Venezuelan Constitution. Chavez states that GMO crops are contrary to the interests and needs of their nation's

farmworkers and land, siding with the international peasants' organization Via Campensina, representing more than 60 million farmers and farmworkers. Chavez plans to strengthen local food production, and thus respect heritage and diversity, while creating a seed bank to maintain indigenous seeds for peasant's movements around the world. >> Read the article...
