Mexican Farmers Block Monsanto

Progressive small farmer organizations in Mexico scored a victory over transnational corporations that seek to monopolize seed and food patents.


Farmers Win a Battle, but the Offensive Continues

Now that the regular session has been concluded and the bill wasn’t presented, it will have to wait for a new session.  

Withdrawal of the bill was a victory for the social organizations over the transnational beneficiaries of the bill, particularly Monsanto.

Well done people of Mexico!
