The book, written by Biowatch founder trustees Rachel Wynberg and David Fig, tells the inside story of how a reasonable request for access to GMO permit applications catapulted an environmental watch-dog into almost a decade of litigation against the South African state and monolithic Monsanto.
What has become known as “the Biowatch case” originated in a genuine attempt to access information from government about the planting of genetically modified crops in South Africa.
