Entrepreneurs who cut transgenic maize fields were tried in France

18
years ago

15 May 2006,

Hundreds of people in France supported 49 entrepreneurs who cut genetically modified maize fields. They were part of the Faucheurs Volontaires group and were tried before the Court of Orleans. Despite being acquitted for this cause in 2004 and 2005, the multinational Monsanto appealed and came to trial. The group used the trial to denounce experiments on genetically modified departments.
