Aquaponic Gardening

A Community and Forum For Aquaponic Gardeners

I just read another very disturbing article about Monsanto. Once again I am reminded how IMPORTANT it is for us to grow our own food!!!

So Sad :-)

Try to use heirloom, organic or your own seed. Grow it via Aquaponics ...grown locally and naturally :-)

God bless,

What makes me even sadder is that the Obama administration is doing absolutely nothing to stop the march of Monsanto across our agricultural system, and, in fact, their policies are supporting the advancement of GE crops.  This is my single biggest disappointment in my man, Obama.

Single biggest disappointment...No Comment!

God bless

As I understand it, U.S. taxpayer money is being used to push GMO's on other countries.  Sylvia, why would they stop when there is money to be made.  And of course he who controls the food controls the people.  It's criminal in my opinion.  Obama didn't start us down this path, but he appears to be riding the train along with the others.  Check here for some interesting tidbits... http://www.organicconsumers.org/usda_watch.cfm

I would bet here are not many administrations or politicians that are not influenced by Montsanto.

Thank you sharing this very informative article Teresa :-)

It is so sad to read about some of the players involved...especially those in powerful positions such as Bill Gates whose foundation does excellent work in many areas but not this one! To have US Supreme court justices who also supported such organizations...HELP!

As you correctly point out, (certainly the case in the developed countries although not initially that in the developing countries where the problem faced by those in charge is how to stop famine quickly), ..."why would they stop when there is money to be made.  And of course he who controls the food controls the people." 

Solutions....

EDUCATION....EDUCATION....EDUCATION

We all need to do all that is in our ability to educate our fellow brethren the evils of such and the positive benefits of Aquaponics....one person at a time is fine so long as we continue to do such and follow the example ourselves b living such a way of life.

Further, STOP all support of such groups and raise awareness of such and try to take appropriate civil action to stop such. Support Local Grown movements and encourage such by helping changing zoning to allow such in Urban areas.

God bless,

Interesting, and incredibly disturbing article, Teresa.  Thanks for sharing it...I think....  I agree that this is all about money.  We need our government to protect us from that motivation....and they aren't doing their job.  It's not really Monsanto's fault - they are just who they are.  But I expect to be protected from this kind of plundering by my government...especially by a president who ran on this protection as part of his platform.  It is a very sad state of affairs and I'm afraid the human species is being placed at risk by something as banal as politics.
