Dupont, Monsanto, and Obama Versus the World’s Family Farmers

Dupont, Monsanto, and Obama Versus the World’s Family Farmers | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it

The Obama administration has indicated a shift in US development policy from "food aid" (dumping our excess production overseas) with "food security" (improving food production in foreign countries). This would be great for world’s family farmers if Obama’s plan were to ensure their access to clean water, arable land and diverse, locally adapted plants and animals. Unfortunately, President Obama seems set on replacing the bags of wheat, rice and corn with bags of pesticides, fertilizers and genetically engineered seeds. http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2010/07/11/dupont-monsanto-and-obama-versus-the-worlds-family-farmers/
