Help shut down the World Agricultural Forum
From the open publishing newswire: Shut Down the World Agricultural Forum! Say NO to Corporate Greed and the Raping of the Seed! Agriculture is the most fundamental industry of man, responsible for providing the food, water and shelter necessary for sustaining human life. Yet, each year an expanding world population increases the strain on dwindling land and water resources. Already, 800 million go without food to meet their basic nutritional needs and experts predict that by 2025 the world’s population will have grown by an additional 3 billion, leaving two-thirds of the world’s population to live in water-stressed areas.
We, revolutionary anti-capitalists in the midwest, see how agriculture and agribusiness play an important role in corpoprate globalization and the affects it has on biodiversity, rights of farmers, poverty and hunger, health, and on the Global South.
St. Louis (home of Mosanto), will be the host of the next WAF Congress on May 18-20, 2003. Join us in active resistance against the WAF. We want to give the CEOs of Agribusiness (and the many other corporate killers scheduled to be present) a very warm (not-)welcome.

From the open publishing newswire: On
January 8, 2003, the International Center for
Technology Assessment (CTA) and the Center for Food
Safety sued USDA arguing that creeping bentgrass and
Kentucky bluegrass, both of which are being
engineered to resist Roundup (glyphosate), are already
serious problems in some natural areas and would
become "super weeds" if herbicide resistance was
built in. Monsanto, maker of Roundup, and Scotts
Company, a home garden and pesticide products
company, have asked for USDA approval to
commercialize a genetically engineered (GE) variety of
creeping bentgrass popular for golf course greens and
commercial and residential lawns.
