Fatal Harvest: Andy Kimbrell and Vandana Shiva

By Food & Water

Kimbrell talks about the transformation of nature via biotechnology to make life fit a dangerous system rather than changing technology to make it appropriate to life. Vandana Shiva reports on rural resistance and WTO free zones in India. Taking back the seed from the 5 corporations that now control the source of food of the planet is for her the symbol of the new freedom.

Vandana Shiva: Biopirates VS The Peasants of India

By Food & Water

Vandana Shiva is a physicist, philosopher of science, feminist and campaigner against globalization, the patenting and ownership of life, and the WTO. She now is an internationally acclaimed speaker and author and uses her growing influence to champion the cause of the poor in India. During her speech at the University of San Francisco she spoke not about philosophy or science but of the plight of the peasants in India who see their knowledge taken away, their seeds poisoned and their local economies destroyed by multinational food corporations. The small farmers, she reports, are fighting back and declaring zones that are free of genetically modified seeds.

Genetic Engineering of Human Beings

By Food & Water

code: A212 To order a copy click here: $8.00
Paul Billings, Marcy Darnovsky, Andrew Imparato
What really is the nature of the human genome project?  It is a rough draft, with an error rate of 30%.  The human genome is not a blueprint for making a human being. Our genes are not particularly different from those in mice and dogs. As genetic engineering progresses, issues from the past return to the fore, among them eugenics, genetic discrimination, classification of people as uninsurable or unemployable. These violate the fundamental right to privacy, including genetic privacy.
There is a new twist in human genetic engineering, techno-eugenics, a technology involving human clones that makes “designer babies” possible. This technology would employ direct manipulation of [ . . . ]

Science & Genetic Engineeering and Biowarfare & Bioweapons

By Food & Water

Martha Crouch & Ricarda Steinbrecher / Ed Hammond
code: A210 To order a copy click here: $8.00
Dr. Martha Crouch, retired professor of biology, closed her lab when she realized that her research was being used to develop terminator technology. She says that our cycle of life has depended on the health of plants, seeding and  fruiting naturally, for the last 10,000 years. With genetic engineering we are able to change that relationship so that we are now forcing other organisms to respond in ways that may be inimical for their own lives.
Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher is a retired genetic scientist and outspoken critic of genetic engineering. When the Human Genome project was completed, she says, scientist had to admit to [ . . . ]

Andrew Kimbrell is a public interest attorney and author. He calls mechanization and marketing of life, and the corporate enclosure of the entire living commons, the most disturbing aspects of genetic engineering. Andres Barreda, a scholar and activist from Mexico says that in 1994, when NAFTA was signed, “the war began in my country.” Indigenous peoples in Mexico now find that the key to any hope for autonomy is the struggle against biodevastation.
Vandana Shiva from India says that the first colonialism was about land. Now bodies and lives are being appropriated and exploited. Life is not an area of [ . . . ]

The program begins with a list of myths about genetic engineered food presented by Food First director Peter Rosset. Brewster Kneen, former goat farmer and publisher of the Ramshorn says that our foods and the systems by which they are grown and distributed are being deliberately contaminated by genetic pollution. His wife, Cathleen Kneen, reminds us that eating is very personal. The food becomes our body. Food is the basis of culture and community.

Farms & Genetic Engineering – Hear from the people who grow our food.

Ted Quaday, John Kinsman, Bill Christison, Percy Schmeiser, & Bill Wenzel
Hear from the people who grow our food. Soy and corn, two of the basic staple food crops, are also the most heavily genetically engineered. This is far more than an issue of personal consumption and health. Corporate and political powers seem determined to put these GMO foods on our plates, whether we want them or not.
The stories of these farmers demonstrate that planting healthy food has become an act of rebellion. Banks and seed companies try to force farmers to plant engineered seeds. Farmers are also finding it harder to find non-GMO seed stock. Even organic seed supplies are [ . . . ]

The Sale of the Microbes in Yellowstone Park

By Food & Water

On Yellowstone’s 125th anniversary the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior signed the first ever cooperative research agreement to exploit a national park. Diversa Corporation acquired the right to take unspecified amounts of microbes from the park in exchange for $35,000 per year. The extreme secrecy surrounding the agreement, the fact that it is violating the legal protection of national parks, has led to a lawsuit.

The Lawsuit on Genetically Engineered Food

By Food & Water

Concern is spreading about the danger of genetically engineered food. While action is taken by governments around the world to ban selected bioengineering on food, the US does not even require labeling and safety testing of such foods. At this time 40% of the soy and 20% of all corn is engineered. Soy is a major ingredient in baby food. 40 minutes, (1998)

Remembering Doris “Granny D.” Haddock – and her fight to get money out of politics

By Creative Communities

At a time when the 2010 midterm elections set a record for campaign spending; and a new populism is on the rise that contains elements of anger and racism it’s good to remember Doris “Granny D.” Haddock the amazing, eloquent, funny grandmother who gave the last 15 years of her life to getting money out of politics and to embody a populism that is fueled by love, compassion and a bright, clear sense of justice.
Granny D. was best known for walking, in her 90th year, from Los Angeles to Washington DC to tell those she met along the way that there is a way to restore democracy by removing the privilege of money. Among the many proposals for campaign finance [ . . . ]
