THE BEST OF 2007
GM Watch's global roundup of resistance
Intro
The Bush-driven ethanol boom made 2007 a very profitable year for Monsanto. But its success was dependent on just one commodity - corn seed, which accounted for over a third of Monsanto’s sales and nearly 60% of its gross profits. And once you move beyond the unsustainable and environmentally devastating agrofuel boom, plus the recent decision of two Australian states to relax their bans on GM canola despite huge opposition, then 2007 was a year in which the biotech industry continued to face increasing global resistance on just about every other front right around the world. Most alarming of all for the industry were the signs of growing resistance within its US heartland.
Unsurprisingly, given the powerful aftershocks of the GM rice scandal - now estimated to have cost the grains industry over $1 billion, 2007 saw US rice producers calling not just for a ban on commercial GM rice growing but on all experimental outdoor plantings of GM rice. After all, it had been GM crop trials that had triggered the industry wide crisis - a lesson not lost on rice farmers and exporters in other countries.
And it wasn't only US rice farmers who were on the warpath. 2007 was a very bad year for the industry with the US judiciary. There were also worrying signs for the industry of growing consumer awareness and resistance with the biotech industry’s plans to introduce food from cloned animals into the food supply looking set to face major domestic opposition. And while surveys showed a majority of US consumers are still unaware that more than 70% of their processed foods contain GM ingredients, the call for labeling is growing - with even the likes of Hilary Clinton now backing it.
And Americans are increasingly aware of one GM product in their food. And they don't like it”¦

+ US TURNS AGAINST GM HORMONE
Surveys show over 80% of consumers would prefer to purchase dairy products produced without the GM hormone rBGH (aka rBST). And rising consumer demand prompted Starbucks to commit to making 100% of the milk supply free of the GM hormone by the end of the year in its 6,793 company-operated cafes. Grocery retailer Krogers followed suit. Safeway announced milk suppliers for its Northwest U.S. processing plants have stopped using rBGH. And a series of major dairies started requiring all their farmers to supply milk without using Monsanto's GM hormone. Meanwhile, Chipotle became the first national restaurant chain to eliminate rBGH entirely from the items on its menu.

+ 89% OF AMERICANS WANT GM LABELS
A number of leading US presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, have gone on record as favouring mandatory labeling of GM foods as part of their election campaigns. A report funded by the USDA found 89% of Americans want mandatory labeling. And even a poll commissioned by the biotech industry showed only a minority of Americans view GM foods in a positive light, while a majority of American women find GMOs troubling.

+ CONSUMERS FLOOD FDA WITH CLONED FOOD OBJECTIONS
Consumers submitted over 130,000 comments to the Food and Drug Administration opposing the Agency's plan to introduce food from cloned animals into the US food supply. A poll found that nearly two-thirds of US consumers were unhappy with animal cloning and it looks set to become a major issue if the FDA and biotech industry push ahead.

+ US COURT DECISIONS DAMN REGULATORY SYSTEM
The US promotes itself around the world as the model for GM crop regulation, but the judgments of its own judiciary tell a different story. It all started in late 2006 when a federal district judge ruled that the US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) broke the law by not conducting preliminary environmental reviews before permitting the cultivation of drug-producing GM pharma crops throughout Hawaii. US District Judge Michael Seabright also called USDA's regulatory heedlessness 'arbitrary and capricious' and 'an unequivocal violation of a clear congressional mandate.'.

+ US FEDERAL COURT ORDERS HALT TO NEW GM FIELD TRIALS
In 2007 a U.S. federal district judge ruled that the USDA must halt approval of all new GM field trials until more rigorous environmental reviews are conducted. Citing potential threats to the environment, Judge Harold Kennedy found the USDA's past approvals of field trials of herbicide tolerant GM bentgrass were illegal.

+ LANDMARK US FEDERAL RULING
In a separate ruling, another US federal judge ruled that the USDA violated the law by failing to adequately assess possible environmental impacts before approving Monsanto's GM alfalfa. Judge Charles R. Breyer said the agency had been 'cavalier' in deciding that a full environmental impact statement was not needed. The decision blocked commercial sales of GM alfalfa seeds nationwide.

+ PROTESTS IN FRANCE KEEP GROWING
Throughout 2007 activists in France kept trampling fields of GM crops. In 2004 45%of all Monsanto's field trials on GMO seeds suffered damage, in 2005 it was 55%, and in 2006 65%. There are also indications that French courts are starting to take a more lenient view. French farmer-activist Jose Bove was recently spared four months in prison for ripping up GM crops, after a judge converted his sentence to a fine.

+ GM BAN IN FRANCE
There was biotech industry outrage in October 2007 after France announced a ban on Monsanto's MON810 (Bt) corn, the only GM crop being grown in France. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he would suspend the planting of GM Bt crops until the results of an appraisal of the issue in 2008 - the appraisal has now led to the extension of the ban. Sarkozy also said that he personally doubted the benefits claimed for GM crops. Adrian Bebb of Friends of the Earth Europe commented that, 'the precautionary shift now in Sarkozy's tone is a seismic one'. France's policy shift is expected to have implications for the rest of the EU.

In another major development in the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) brought by Aruna Rodrigues and co-petitioners before India's Supreme Court, over 6.5 million farmers from every state in India asked the Court to let them join the case, saying GM crops risk irreversibly damaging India's farmland and biodiversity. This new move followed the application filed by the Association of the Rice Millers and Exporters in India, who want a GM moratorium to protect the rights of farmers and consumers to grow and consume GM-free crops, as well as to ensure that exports don't suffer because of GM contamination.

+ INDIA: GOVT ADVISED AGAINST GROWING BT COTTON
The government of the Indian state of Maharashtra recommended that farmers in its main cotton belt of Vidarbha stop growing Bt cotton and switch to an alternative crop. This is because Bt cotton cultivation has proven unviable due to its high costs and unsatisfactory output. The take up of Bt cotton in Maharashtra’s cotton belt has been greater than in any other part of India, and the state government previously played a big role in hyping it to poor farmers. As a result, farmer suicides in the area have gone through the roof. Earlier in the year, The Times of India reported under the headline 'Bt cotton has failed in Vidarbha' how Maharashtra's agriculture minister had 'admitted that the much-hyped, and high-priced Bt seeds were only adding to the burden of Vidarbha's farmers.'
