From todayʻs livestream of the final hearing at the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management. Monsantoʻs application for a (1) well, (2) a pump, and (3) to bank water allocation in the case of future problems, all denied. Monsanto will no doubt return with another application, but today was a victory for anti-GMO activists.
