Defeat Monsanto

Levy - en de Slag om ons Voedsel, deel 2 - 15-6-2011 - TVblik

Programmamaker Gideon Levy belandt in Brussel in een demonstratie voor steun aan kleine boeren. Levy stuit op een richtingenstrijd. Zo kiezen Landbouwuniversiteit Wageningen en Zadenmultinational Monsanto voor technologie en massaproductie, met gebruik van bestrijdingsmiddelen. De speciale VN-rapporteur voor voedsel ziet echter veel meer heil in de kleine biologische boer. De uitkomst van deze strijd zal de toekomst van veel ontwikkelingslanden bepalen. Levy bezocht in de vorige aflevering een voor Afrikaanse begrippen modern lab in Uganda waar een speciale banaan wordt gekweekt. Het patent blijkt bij het bedrijf Monsanto te berusten. In de aflevering van 15 juni doet Levy verwoede pogingen de chemie- en zadenmultinational Monsanto te spreken te krijgen. Ook legt hij z'n bevindingen voor aan Rudy Rabbinge, hoogleraar Duurzame Ontwikkeling en Voedselveiligheid aan de Landbouwuniversiteit Wageningen en pleitbezorger van een 'Groene revolutie' in Afrika.

Wij Worden Wakker

Monsanto onderscheidt zich van andere multinationals door de vastberadenheid om de hele voedselketen wereldwijd te controleren. De afgelopen tien jaar heeft Monsanto honderden bedrijven opgekocht die zaden produceren. Monsanto voert een absolute controle uit, onder andere door middel van patenten. Deze patenten leveren geld op. Natuurlijke gewassen leveren geen geld op omdat er (nog?) geen octrooi op genomen kan worden. Men hoort mensen wel eens zeggen: Als je geen problemen wilt krijgen met Monsanto, dan koop je toch gewoon hun genetisch gemanipuleerde zaden niet? Dan koop je toch ‘natuurlijke’ zaden?

It produces genetically altered seeds to tolerate it's flagship product, Roundup. Monsanto also produces Asgrow, DEKALB, Deltapine, and Seminis seeds. Other products have included Agent Orange, the now ubiquitous PCBs, DDT, Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) and Aspartame.

Occupy Monsanto » Alexis Baden-Mayer

There’s no more basic right than petitioning the government – but not if there’s no one to receive the petitions. And so it was with the petition that called for the labeling of food containing genetically modified organisms (GMO). Plenty of people want to know what they are eating and want food labeling to indicate if the food has been genetically modified.

Because of the power vested in the EU Commission in Brussels, Belgium, with command over a space encompassing 27 nations with more than 500 million citizens and the largest nominal world gross domestic product (GDP) of 18 trillion US dollars, it’s perhaps no surprise in this era of moral promiscuity that powerful private lobby groups such as the tobacco industry, the drug lobby, the agribusiness lobby and countless others spend enormous sums of money and other favors—legal and sometimes illegal—to influence policy decisions of the EU Commission.
