On
March 29th, 2011, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of sixty family
farmers, seed businesses and organic agricultural organizations,
challenging Monsanto’s patents on genetically modified crops. Join us
for a dynamic, powerful and educational dialog with Jim Gerritsen,
President of OSGATA, about the threats to organic farming, the lawsuit,
and how all of us can participate in this movement to protect our rights
to uncontaminated healthy food.
In
Jim’s words: “Today is Independence Day for America. Today we are
seeking protection from the Court and putting Monsanto on notice.
Monsanto’s threats and abuse of family farmers stops here. Monsanto’s
genetic contamination of organic seed and organic crops ends now.
Americans have the right to choice in the marketplace – to decide what
kind of food they will feed their families – and we are taking this
action on their behalf to protect that right to choose. Organic farmers
have the right to raise our organic crops for our families and our
customers on our farms without the threat of invasion by Monsanto’s
genetic contamination and without harassment by a reckless polluter.
Beginning today, America asserts her right to justice and pure food.”
