Supreme Court Delivers Positive Decision on Roundup Ready. Alfalfa
Today, the Supreme Court lifted a nationwide ban on the planting of genetically engineered alfalfa seeds. In a 7-1 vote, the court reversed a federal appeals court ruling that prohibited the selling of Roundup Ready. alfalfa seeds, which are resistant to the popular weed killer Roundup.. Justice Stephen Breyer did not participate in the case.
The Supreme Court ruling is good news for alfalfa growers and for American farmers because it confirms the importance of the use of safe, beneficial technologies such as Roundup Ready. alfalfa to generate the food production that will be needed to feed a growing global population.
We are pleased with the Supreme Court's decision and look forward to the USDA giving its approval, which is necessary to clear the way for bringing Roundup Ready. alfalfa back to the U.S. market in the near future. We believe the Court's ruling is a strong indication that decisions about agriculture technology should be based on solid data and sound science.
