Farmers must sign away rights to legal recourse should Monsanto Crops fail to perform

Alive: Canadian Journal of Health and Nutrition Apr01

Farmers wishing to grow Monsanto's biotech crops will have a new contract to sign. Under the 2001 Technology Agreement, growers have to sign away rights to legal recourse should the crop fail to perform.

In the past, farmers have sued Monsanto for millions of dollars when its biotech crops failed for various reasons, including inability to adapt to local conditions. This option is no longer available.
