Occupytalk.org Produits Round Up Le Conseil d’État annule la décision de refus d’abrogation de l’autorisation de mise sur le marché de l’herbicide Roundup Express.

Christiania.org - Forside Plate forme Souveraineté Alimentaire Démocratie réelle et maintenant Nîmes Scientists Warn EPA Over Monsanto's GMO Crop Failures A group of scientists is calling for major federal action in order to deal with the threat posed by Monsanto’s GMO crops, now petitioning the EPA to address the issue head on. The group of 22 academic corn experts are drawing attention to the immense failure of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, which is developing mutated and resistant insects as a result of its widespread usage. Corn is critical not only as a food staple, but is heavily used in ethanol production, animal feed, and much more. As GM corn becomes the norm, currently taking over 94 percent of the supply, these scientists are seriously concerned about the future of corn production. Joseph Spencer is one outspoken member of the group, a corn entomologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey, part of the University of Illinois. Essentially, the GMO crops are doing the opposite of their supposed purpose — leading to more damage from rootworms as they become mutated to resist the defense of the crops.

From Capitalism To Democracy SITE HYGIENE ALIMENTAIRE - archives de la liste HYGIENE - notamment : ACTUALITES GRIPPE A(H1N1) Call for a Global Spring in May 2012 Throughout this period of civil disobedience, from Tunisia, to Iceland and the latest uprisings in Greece and India (feel free to add other places), if anything has become clear it is that not only political systems have reached advanced levels of disintegration, so have their methods of representation, as well as their subordination to capitalist rule.In 2011 we took the streets, we regained our public spaces, got together, opened up dialogues and shared our dreams. We joined forces to make it clear that we are not commodities at the will of politicians and bankers who instate austerity policies and make our lives precarious. Instead, we declare, with our fellow Greeks “We owe nothing, we will not pay and will not sell ourselves!” However, what is far more important is that we also share a desire in re-appropriating our lives and the commons by means of direct participation, joint management, and ultimately the desire for a true democracy at the service of everyone.

Occupy the London Stock Exchange Safeguard Organic Standards Over the last twelve years the OCA has organized a series of national campaigns to safeguard organic standards. While the OCA and our allies have prevented the standards from being significantly watered down, constant vigilance and mobilization have been necessary. The Diane Rehm show recently covered the current debate over organic standards: "The market for organic food has grown from just $1 billion in 1990 to nearly $30 billion today. As big corporations enter the market, concern has grown about enforcement of organic standards, and some see the movement drifting away from its founding principles of sustainability and local farming. They are alarmed by organic tomatoes grown in far-off, Mexican deserts that require constant irrigation, organic cows living on industrial-sized feedlots, and chickens laying organic eggs while confined in high-capacity barns. Listen to the show, then take action on the alerts below and in the column to the right. GMOs Out of Organic Baby Food!
