Steve Marsh is a Western Australian farmer who sued his neighbour for ‘reckless’ harvesting of GM (genetically modified, genetically engineered) canola (oilseed rape, rapeseed, Brassica napus). The case has attracted attention around the world because it challenges the power of the chemical and biotech giant Monsanto who made this GM crop.
Three weeks ago I told you that the court case had finished and we were waiting for the verdict. We’re still waiting.
Today I’ve found an article about this case, by Aoife Boothroyd at the Australian Food Magazine (‘Informing food and beverage manufacturers.’) Ms Boothroyd, writing three weeks ago, told us that the final verdict was expected in ‘another few months.’
