Bayer AG launched a pilot program in the United States and Brazil on Tuesday that will pay farmers for capturing carbon in cropland soils, making it the latest agriculture company to capitalize on environmental initiatives. Responding to increasing fraud threats to the organic industry, the US Department of Agriculture seeks to strengthen oversight and improve the transparency and traceability of organic food through a four-prong plan that praises and mirrors actions already taken by the Organic Trade Association. Plaintiffs in the U.S. Roundup litigation are starting to learn the details of what Bayer AG’s $10 billion settlement of cancer claims actually means for them individually, and some do not like what they see. Lack of wild bees causes crop shortages. Without bees, future generations may not be able to identify with adages like, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away.’ Emily Brown, a former preschool teacher and mother of two, founded the Food Equality Initiative (FEI). FEI, under Emily’s leadership, has placed over $100,000 worth of “free-from” food into the hands of those in need.
