Control the food and water , you control the world . Monsanto thinks we will let them do this . If we get the word out , we can save the heritage seeds and save ourselves and keep some of the water clean enough for babies to drink , without them getting "blue baby syndrome" from chemicals in the water .

"La Via Campesina Organizes International Caravans for Life, Resistance, and Environmental Justice in Mexico

Over a thousand women and men, farmers, indigenous people, urban and rural people affected by social and environmental destruction are planning to march in 5 caravans towards Cancun, Mexico, in protest against the indolence of the dominant countries and capitalists of the world gathering for the conference of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change from November 29 to December 10, 2010.

The caravans co-organised by the National Assembly of People Affected by the Environment and the international peasant's movement La Via Campesina and by a convergence of diverse social movements from the United States, Canada and Mexico will kick off in San Luis Potosi, Guadalajara, and Acapulco, joining other rural, urban and student movements in Mexico City on November 30 for a mass protest for environmental and social justice. Two other caravans will then depart from Oaxaca and Chiapas, all converging to Cancun on December 3 for the inauguration of the Farmer's and Indigenous Camp organized by La Via Campesina.

The caravans' journeys will bring local struggles against social and environmental injustices into the limelight as the global community convenes for the climate negotiations in Cancun. They will denounce the widespread apathy in the face of the current socio-environmental scandals, as well as the Mexican government's maneuvering to implement mega-projects for “Clean Development Mechanisms (MDL)” which in fact devastate communities and the environment. This is the case of the large industrial pig farms such as Smithfield, the production of agrofuels for airplanes, the "semi- remediation" of open-air garbage dumps, large hydro-dams and new GMO extensions.

In solidarity with this movement against corporate greed in the name of “climate change”, Via Campesina farmers from around the world and other activists will join the caravans. According to Henry Saragih, general coordinator of La Via Campesina, “leaders from Asia will also march with the affected people of Mexico and North America. In my country Indonesia, people also lead hundreds even thousands of struggles, at local level, against commercial projects destroying people livelihoods and the environment”.

Josie Riffaud, a Via Campesina farmer leader from France also insisted that “the solutions being discussed in the climate talks are very scary. We are being told that some projects will help solve the current climate chaos, but it is an illusion. We are seeing an increase of monoculture plantations, genetic engineering, agrofuels plantations, landgrabbing, all of this will further increase devastation and exclusion”.

In Cancun, La Via Campesina and its allies will organise an “Alternative Global Forum for Life and Environmental and Social Justice”, on December 4 through 10, and a mass mobilisation of peasants, indigenous and social movements on December 7. At the same time, in Cancun and around the world, thousands of people and organisation will mobilise creating "thousands of Cancuns" to denounce the false solutions against climate change and to promote a real system change."

Wow, what rhetoric Current. The one word I typeD that you removed Is mild cOmpared To what I have seen here from that poster and many others which you ignore. Thanks for letting the people on this site know how you bow down to bullies.

One more thing, everyone in this country always whines about big oil and big insurance and big coal companies controlling our politicians. Meanwhile, companies like Monsanto completely fly under the radar while posing the greatest hazard to our health. This is great Americans are finally waking up.

Jan,

On this we agree. Thanks for sharing this movie.

By the way, everyone should also see The Future of Food, King Corn, and Food Matters. All three documentaries are available on Netflix instant.

Unfortunately the vast majority of the population show by their actions that they couldn't care less about the food that they consume.

HELL YES!

Freedom to grow your own food is different from freedom to sell food to others with no safety checks.

The gov is not trying to stop people from growing or producing their own food, but the gov should monitor food that is sold to others on the open market.

This is fucked up. Thanks for making us aware of this.
