The Indian Government has banned genetically engineered (GE) eggplant after the ex-Director of Monsanto India admitted the corporation provided ‘fake scientific data’ to regulators.
With news coming in from India that Monsanto has given ‘fake scientific data’ to regulators, a new survey shows most Australians reject GE foods and don’t trust the institutions that commercialise them.

Polling shows the majority of West Australians would not buy genetically modified (GM) food and believe that the West Australian Government’s ban on the commercial growing of GM canola should stay in place.
Europe is not immune from Monsanto’s political and bureaucratic influence. Part 3 of this series explores the pressure exerted by U.S. GM companies in Europe. It also looks at claims made by these biotech companies that GM soy would require lower doses of herbicides and contrasts this claim with the Argentinean experience. Argentina’s soy farmers, who were among the first to adopt GM technology 10 years ago, are now faced with having to use increasingly large quantities of chemical herbicides to control herbicide resistant super weeds.
