In Kojonup, WA, it is alleged that an organic farmer has suffered severe economic damage by his neighbours growing GM crops. [...] The ridiculous standard of liability that the organic farmer wishes to impose on his neighbours would mean the end of all progress in WA agriculture. If blame must be apportioned, it should lie with the organics industry for wasting the productive potential of good land by persevering with obsolete farming methods. “Organic” producers will make no contribution to the increased production required from every acre to satisfy the food needs of the world’s expanding population.
