Gone To Seed
Monsanto (who else) is giving 475 tons of seed to Haiti. Of course the seed is imported and hybrid. Haiti's peasants traditionally save seed year to year and plant crops of local seed.
If I may venture a suggestion to the peasant farmers of Haiti... cook the motherfucking stuff and eat it. Monsanto deserves nothing less.

And nothing more.
ReplyDeleteIt should be a crime but it is pretty much Monsanto's MO. It's what they have done to farmers in U.S. and around the world. What's even worse is even should the Haitians plant this seed they will undoubtedly have lower yields since these seeds are not adapted to the environment as were the heirloom seeds they used to use.
