The Safe Food Foundation has welcomed a court agreement designed to better protect a Western Australian Great Southern organic farm from contamination by genetically modified crops. Kojonup farmer Steve Marsh is suing his neighbour and seeking a ban of GM canola crops within 2.5 kilometres of his property. Mr Marsh says his property was contaminated by GM canola in 2010. He and his neighbour have agreed to temporarily keep a 1.1 kilometre GM-free buffer zone around Mr Marsh’s property. The foundation’s Scott Kinnear says the agreement sets a strong precedent.
