Title: Maui County, Hawaii, GMO Moratorium Post by: Shin on November 14, 2014, 12:45:22 AM In Maui, Hawaii, despite a near $8 million campaign against the measure, voters approved a temporary moratorium on the use of GMO crops until studies conclusively prove they are safe.
Maui is a major producer of sugarcane, coffee, pineapples, and many other crops. Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences plan to sue to overturn or minimize the effect of the moratorium, which heavily fines violators. |
