When GM pollen blows into a non-GM farmer's fields and irreversibly contaminates his crop with 'biopollution,'
who does the law side with? Historically, Monsanto. Also, it's not
called 'economic sabotage' but rather 'copyright infringement,' and the
victim not the aggressor is threatened with economic ruin.
When Monsanto's unapproved and therefore illegal GM wheat is found years
after open field trials growing freely in an Oregon wheat field, the
entire state crop's export fate is held in limbo, jeopardizing the
present and future living of thousands of farmers and their dependents,
with Monsanto receiving little more than a reprimand, followed by rapid
USDA assurance that despite a lack of approval their GM wheat is "safe."
