Western Australian farmer sues neighbour over GE canola contamination
[Steve Marsh, from Kojonup in WA’s Great Southern region] is suing a neighbour for negligence after genetically modified canola seed blew onto his land, causing the loss of his organic crop certification. [...] Scott Kinnear of The Safe Food Foundation said protocols for growing GM crops needed strengthening and there was a good argument for canola to be banned as a GM crop in Australia. “Canola is probably the most difficult grain to deal with from a contamination point of view,” he said.
