"In Haiti, trying to recover from a crippling earthquake, farmers of the Peasant Movement of Papay (MPP) say they'll burn 475 tons of corn and vegetable seeds from Monsanto.
The seeds were donated through a USAID program and are not genetically engineered (GE), but are hybrid seeds which do not grow "true" from saved seed and must be bought every year for planting. The MPP says the seeds would make Haiti a slave colony for Monsanto and says farmers instead need help establishing seed banks of their own local, organic, Creole seeds."
