Success … at any Cost?

Posted on | December 10, 2009 | No Comments

I’ve been catching up at FarmOn.com this week, with a brief post designed to stimulate discussion about the US investigation into agricultural giant Monsanto’s alleged anti-competitive practices.  Click here to have a read. 

On the flip side, this article from the National Post makes a case for encouraging responsible, sustainable bio-tech innovations … within the larger context of creating safe, reliable food sources for developing nations.

As always, feel free to join the discussion here or at FarmOn.com!
