- This is interesting - it looks like consumers and a collection of farmers aren't the only ones against Monsanto's planned tests of GM wheat in Canada - the GM giant is also being opposed by the Canadian Wheat Board. The agency claims that Canadian farmers could lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year if Monsanto's application is accepted, because it could cost the country its access to top export markets. The Monsanto PR department says "We have tremendous support throughout the wheat value chain for getting regulatory approval... People want to know it is safe", which could mean that everybody's just saying "there's no way I'm going to use that product until I know for sure it won't kill anyone or cause the end of agriculture as we know it". There's no word on whether or not Monsanto will form the "Canadian Wheet Board" to try to spin things further. |
