This week Monsanto’s internal documents show that the company predicted crop system would damage U.S. farms. The Monsanto documents describe how to profit from farmer losses and the desire to oppose some independent testing. The Environmental Protection Agency, headed by former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler, announced last Thursday a sweeping and indefinite suspension of environmental rules amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic, a move green groups warned gives the fossil fuel industry a “green light to pollute with impunity.” The Trump administration has proposed to approve genetically engineered crops on national wildlife refuges throughout the southeastern United States, a step likely to increase the use of glyphosate and other pesticides known to harm wildlife. Monsanto can’t dodge Southern Californian port’s pollution case. A federal judge found agrochemical giant Monsanto can’t dodge the Port of San Diego’s public nuisance case over the company’s alleged pollution of the San Diego Bay and its fish. ‘Victory Gardens’ born out of coronavirus pandemic. The outbreak has sparked a desire among people — many for the first time — to grow their own food, and they’re flocking to garden stores to stock up on seeds and practical knowledge.
