All signs point to a corporate takeover of the marijuana industry by Bayer, Monsanto

[…]chemical industries. “These corporations have reduced the variety and availability of native seeds.

Monsanto and the Poisonous Cartel of GMOs in India

[…]produces no seeds. What they do is attempt to stretch patents on chemicals to claim ownership on seeds, even in countries where patents on seeds and plants are not allowed- India, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and many other countries. In fact, all the court cases against Monsanto in India are related to Monsanto un-scientifically, illegally and illegitimately claiming patents on seed, in contempt of their laws, and trying to collect royalties from the Indian seed industry and farmers. This may seem like a stretch or hyperbole, but it’s not. As the article puts it: “The Farben family chemical cartel was responsible […]

Bayer Reportedly Looking To Acquire Monsanto For $40 Billion

[…]no deal on the table, Bayer has discussed how it could finance the purchase of the Missouri-based seed company. They could also just end up creating a new joint venture with Monsanto. Both of those ideas sound terrifying. Last year, Monsanto attempted to buy Syngenta. That sale would have given the combined company control of 40% of the U.S. pesticide market. But, Syngenta hesitated and later agreed to sell itself to the China National Chemical Corp., for $43 billion dollars. Bloomberg believes that if Bayer does move forward with an offer to Monsanto, it’s likely that BASF, a German company, might also hop […]

Anheuser-Busch initiative aims to help farmers transition to organic, boost organic industry

[…]test of monopolistic control. There would be a huge concentration of the market in large swaths of seed development and sales for other commonly used seeds, including traited strains of canola, soybeans, and corn. The merger would also increase Monsanto’s control over other areas in which it is already a dominant player, including fertilizers, pesticides and farming technology.” RELATED ARTICLE: Fox: Will The Bayer Monsanto Deal Fail the Food System!? (Yes Fox, It will) Should they decide to, the new behemoth corporation could “bundle” products together leaving farmers with few if any, alternatives. And that could increase prices for farmers, […]

Some of the Best Vegetables to Grow in Times of Crisis

[…]Plant rows 6 inches apart, skip 3 feet, then plant two more rows 6 inches apart. Hoss recommends seeding carrots in a thick band and not thinning them, so you’ll have a “dense forest of carrots” and get a lot of production out of a little bit of space. When grown this way, your carrots may not all come out uniform in size — some will be smaller and some bigger — but they’ll taste great just the same.
