NOTE: This week, I am doing two food and agricultural global news photos threads. This one covers the protests that were held around the world against Monsanto on May 21, 2016.
Protester Jean-Baptiste Redde aka Voltuan holds a placard reading 'Monsanto guilty of ecocide ' as protesters lay on the ground during a march to protest against Biotechnology giant Monsanto in Paris on May 21, 2016. Marches and rallies against Monsanto and food and seeds that contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) were held in different cities across the world as part of campaign calling attention to the dangers posed by GMO foods.

Debates among member states of the European Union today in Brussels ended without a vote on whether to ban the pesticide glyphosate.
