For the first time in Australia a farmer is suing Monsanto, claiming it causes his cancer.

New South Wales farmer Ross Wild claims that he has been using the herbicide on his property for 43 years.
 
He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma last year and claims it was due to long-term exposure of Roundup’s active ingredient glysophate.
 
Bayer Australia, the owner of Monsanto, says they  “firmly stand behind the safety of glyphosate-based products and, as a company devoted to life sciences, assure Australians that their health and the environment are our top priority”.
