Haitian Farmers Fighting Monsanto

In an exclusive Beyond Pesticides’ interview in Mirebalais, Haiti (in the central plateau region of the country) on August 26, 2011 with the head of Haiti’s Mouvman Peyizan Papay [MPP] (Peasant Movement of Papay), a 200,000 member strong organization of small farmers, Chavannes Jean-Baptiste calls for support of food sovereignty in his earthquake-torn country and an end to efforts by Monsanto and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to advance chemical-intensive agriculture in Haiti. Mr. Chavannes and his organization led a protest of 10,000 peasant farmers in 2010 during which they burned Monsanto seed that was donated and being distributed by USAID’s Watershed Initiative for National Natural Environmental Resources (WINNER) Program.

Protesting the usage of Monsanto seeds needs to be done in every state & country.

Even in Haiti know. In a land severly hit by catastrophe, Monsatan was told to take their "aid" back and stick it well deep inside their pocket. :lol:

Great publicity for Monsanto and kudos to Jean-Baptiste :pray:

Let us all take there seed,use it for good, and let them sue the planet. Then we will know the names of those that steal from the mouth's of babies. They plant next door and pollinate your field then sue for theft ? Just the vermin we need on this world. At least the natural parasites have a purpose on this world. These people are pollution in our DNA. :shooting:
