Greenpeace, les Amis de la Terre, la FFAP (Fédération française des apiculteurs professionnels), les Faucheurs volontaires d’OGM et une trentaine d’autres organisations ont adressé ensemble aujourd’hui une lettre ouverte aux sociétés commercialisant des semences agricoles en France. Dans ce courrier, les associations demandent à ces entreprises de clarifier leurs intentions concernant la commercialisation de semences de maïs Mon 810 sous licence Monsanto, en vue des semailles du printemps 2012. Une situation peu claire… et risquée ! La position française est des plus floues : un exploitant agricole français peut aujourd’hui acheter légalement des semences de maïs Mon 810 sur le marché et ce, malgré la demande effectuée par les autorités françaises auprès de la Commission européenne le 20 février 2012 de suspendre l’autorisation de mise en culture des semences de maïs Mon 810.

Following in the footsteps of nations like France and Russia, South Africa may soon be the latest nation to enact a ban on Monsanto’s GMO corn that was recently linked to tumor development and organ damage in rats.
South Africa’s African Centre for Biosafety (ACB), a watchdog organization that was created to protect consumers from various biotechnology dangers, is now calling on South African authorities to enact a ban on Monsanto’s tumor-linked maize crop known as NK603. This is particularly important when it comes to South Africa as white corn is a large staple food, making up for 80% of the harvest just last year. In the event that the maize were to be banned, it would be a major hit for Monsanto and an even larger victory for the 50,586,757 people who live in South Africa. If authorities take the advice of ACB, then it would not only ban the cultivation of the GMO corn, but the import and export as well. In a letter to the South African minister of agriculture, the ACB said:
Guide des produits avec ou sans OGM | Greenpeace France. Guide des produits avec ou sans OGM | Greenpeace France. Look Out Monsanto: The Global Food Movement Is Rising. The book "Harvesting Justice" isn't just a look at the world's most exciting food justice groups - it's also a knockout organizing tool. Chewing on a mouthful of locally grown lettuce, I wondered if the claims I’d heard about the global food-justice movement were true. Was there a line to follow, however crooked, between my purchase of these greens, land reform in Brazil and opposition to genetically modified seeds in California.
Or was it all just empty calories? As a somewhat conscientious consumer and occasional Taco Bell boycotter, I’ve hoped that the movement was real. Those connections form a tight weave in the new book, Harvesting Justice: Transforming Food, Land, and Agriculture in the Americas. The book was created for the U.S. The book’s authors, Tory Field and Beverly Bell, do a lot more with food than just write about it. And they encourage consumer action through the words of Ben Burkett, president of the National Family Farm Coaltion. Designed for use as an organizing tool.
