Organic Farmers Win GMO Fight in Jackson County, Oregon
January 11th, 2016
Via EcoWatch:
Organic farmers are racking up new victories in the fight against “franken-food,� as a growing number of counties line up to bar genetically engineered (GE) crop cultivation throughout the country.
A federal judge in Jackson County, Oregon, recently upheld a consent decree that designates the region a “GE-free zone,� a ruling which officially protects the decree from appeal, granting new protections to farmers, consumers and the environment.
That means organic and traditional farms in Jackson County will be protected from chemicals produced by Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont and other biotech giants. The ruling follows the passage of other similar ordinances in at least eight U.S. counties, including in Hawaii, California and Washington, along with another Oregon county.
