Portrait of Wendel Lutz in USA
Wendel Lutz is one of the two American farmers featured in the Greenpeace film, 'Growing Doubt', who have also traveled to Europe to warn farmers there against a fate similar to their own. Farmers in USA have suffered as they see a rapid growth of ‘super-weeds’, steadily increasing seed prices and need increased applications of ever more toxic herbicides.

‘Growing Doubt' Documentation Images in USA
26 genetically engineered crops are currently being considered for approval in the European Union. 19 out of these 26 are genetically engineered to be tolerant to herbicides. What lessons will we learn from genetically engineered herbicide tolerant crop production in Argentina and the United States?
In 2012, Greenpeace traveled through Argentina and USA to speak to farmers and their communities about how herbicide tolerant crop monocultures have affected their economy, environment and health. These first person accounts are part of the Greenpeace film, ‘Growing Doubt’, presented as part of an 18 day tour of Europe.
