more on genetic engineering

I got a fax from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy this
morning about anti-Monsanto campaigns. If recent mergers are approved,
writes IATP's Kristin Dawkins, Monsanto will control 85% of the world
cotton seed market and well over half of soybean and corn seed markets.
It's got a joint venture with Cargill to distribute its seed worldwide.

The IATP has a website at <http://www.iatp.org/iatp>.

The fax also included a copy of a letter to IATP from A SEED Europe (Action
for Solidarity, Equality, Environment, and Development, European Office)
about a worldwide campaign they're organizing against Monsanto. They have a
website at <http://www.antenna.nl/aseed>.
