Yep, the creators of chemicals that will go down in
history for their toxicity and horrific side effects, is attempting to take over the world's seed supply. Ask yourself- do you really want companies such as BASF, Bayer, DuPont, Syngenta, and Dow involved with your
food? Sadly, to a large extent they already are. These Monsanto chemical and GMO cronies all share
genetically engineered traits and create the patented
herbicides and pesticides that GMO
crops require to thrive.
Monsanto is infamous for taking advantage of small
farmers, and with the advent of MoU's they are doing so with governmental license. Countries like
India, Pakistan, Australia, and New Zealand have all executed MoU's with Monsanto. MoU's or memorandum's of understanding permit Monsanto to use publicly owned lands to create so called demonstration
farms (GMO breeding camps) which in turn -at least in the case of Rajasthan - are subsidized by the
government.
Monsanto literally takes
farmer seeds, creates genetically engineered copycat versions, and then retains all intellectual property rights. Dr. Vandana Shiva, Executive Director of the Navdanya Trust, an Indian organization committed to
organic biodiversity, states that "the MoU's will in effect, facilitate bio-piracy of Rajasthan's rich biodiversity of draught -resilient crops .... by failing to have any clauses that respect the Biodiversity Act and the Farmers' Rights Act, the MoU's promote bio-piracy and legalize the great seed robbery."
