BIOTECH AND THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF FOOD

What:    Forum on "BIOTECH AND THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF FOOD"

When:   7:00 p.m., Wednesday, January 7, 2004

Where: Genesis House, 6018 Delmar Boulevard

Who:

  • Percy Schmeiser, phone interview with the Canadian farmer.
  • Suzanne Renard, organic farmer, biotechnology critic, author.
  • C.A. Hilgartner, independent scholar with history of work in genetics and biology.
  • Daniel Romano, writer on agriculture, biotechnology, and world trade.

    How are biotech corporations corrupting our food supply while turning innocent farmers into criminals?

    Hear Percy Schmeiser via live phone hook-up a few days before his case comes before the Canadian Supreme Court. Schmeiser is the Canadian farmer sued by Monsanto after its genetically modified pollen blew into his canola fields in 1997. A Saskatchewan federal court heard the case in 2000 and astounded the world when it ruled that how the pollen got into his fields was irrelevant.
