MONSANTO WARNS TWO BILLION FARMERS: " STOP SAVING YOUR SEEDS "

Since the advent of farming, thousands of years ago, farmers have

carefully collected seeds at harvest so as to have enough seed for the

next year's planting. Concerned that seed saving by farmers reduces

their profits, seed and biotech giants like Monsanto have rammed

though controversial " intellectual property laws " in numerous

countries that make traditional seed saving a crime. Last year,

Monsanto harassed and/or sued more than 500 U.S. farmers who saved

their seeds, forcing them to pay the company over $15 million in

fines, including up to 8 month long prison sentences.
