Paul François is a French agricultor and author,[1] who has been decorated with the Legion of Honour.[2] He is notable chiefly because he demonstrated to a court of law that he was poisoned by a Monsanto product.

Early life

François is a native of Bernac, Charente.

He chose to specialise in cereal agriculture from an early age.[2]

François considers himself to have been "a pure product of the chemical agriculture industry", up until his rupture with it because of his poisoning.[3]

Toxic incident

François inhaled the poison on 27 April 2004. He was ill enough to spit blood when interned in hospital. As late as November that year, the long-term effects of the poison caused him to faint, and in May 2005 it was determined that monochlorobenzene—a solvent used in Lasso to dilute the Alachlor—was present in his bloodstream.[2]

Betimes, Alachlor was prohibited by the French government in November 2007.[2]

Formal recognition of hazard

An employment tribunal formally recognised in 2010 that François in fact had been poisoned.[2]

François v Monsanto

Trial division

The Monsanto product with which François was poisoned is known commercially as Lasso.[4]

In December 2011, final arguments to the court were heard.[5]

In February 2012, the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Lyon condemned Monsanto to pay damages to François.[6]

Appeal division

In 2015 at the appeal court, Monsanto lawyers repeatedly refused to concede that their product was toxic and that the damages owed were fictitious.[4]

Monsanto is fighting a nasty rear-guard action, and as of 2017, refused quantum.[7]

Author

François wrote, with Anne-Laure Barret, Un paysan contre Monsanto to document his battle against Monsanto. This book, which was released to market in October 2017, was published by Fayard press.[8]

With the benefit of hindsight, François has considered how his perspective has changed:[4]

{{Cquote|We were never worried about the toxicity of herbicides. For us, they served as the medication for plants.}}
