Title
New Jersey's First Genetically Modified Organism Legislation Tailored to Helping Farmers
Abstract
(type = abstract)
Regulation to expand New Jersey’s oversight and liability set towards biotechnology and genetically engineered crops
Abstract
(type = summary)
Farmers around the United States have been facing physical and financial problems on their farms due to genetically modified crop contamination. GMO crop seeds and pollen drift from GMO farms to non-GMO farms and lead to cross contamination. These contaminations lead to the destruction of non-GMO crops; the results can be as severe as physical disfigurements to entire harvest failure. Aside from the loss of these crops, non-GMO farmers still face lawsuits brought forth by GMO producing biotechnology corporations. These local farmers are being sued for growing patented products, despite the contamination cause being natural wind drift. California has recently adopted new regulations in order to protect their local farmers from these unethical patent infringement cases. Using California as a model, New Jersey must follow suit and institute legislation that protect its own farmers. A proposal for such action has been drafted and sent to local organizations as well as to New Jersey legislators. In addition to a detailed letter about the issue at hand, a model for legislation was included so it may be reviewed and used as a base for New Jersey legislators. An alliance between New Jersey farmers, agricultural organizations and constituents can garner the support needed to sway legislators into drafting New Jersey’s first legislation at protecting farmers from genetically engineered crop threats.
