Abstract:This recent report by the Center for Food Safety (CFS) extensively reviews Monsanto's abuse of U.S. patent law to control the usage of staple crop seeds by U.S. farmers. It reveals thousands of Monsanto investigations, nearly 100 lawsuits against farmers and numerous bankruptcies. CFS offers a variety of policy options in the report and has established a toll-free hotline for farmers facing lawsuits or threats from Monsanto to get guidance and referrals: 1-888-FARMHLP.
