USAID promoting GM and GE seeds in Nepal |
|
http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=USAID+workshop+promotes+hybrid+maize+production&NewsID=302667This is serious. The farmers here all harvest their own seeds. It's economical, environmentally safe and sustainable, and lovely. The US government is promoting an end to this in the name of increasing food supply, working with Monsanto.

1. Not only would the farmers have to return the harvesting of Monsanto's seeds, |
|
but they'd risk corruption of the intengrity of their non-GM seeds.
