So you think that encouraging small farmers, women in agriculture and local seed production is not a good thing?

As for DuPont & other large organisations involved - of course they are - why wouldn't they be?? Y'all are in favour of private enterprise right? And against socialism, right???

I notice that there's still no actual mention of Monsanto......

Its really amazing that Africans somehow managed to provide food for themselves for thousands of years without our help, isn't it? That was private enterprise. The big corps aren't interested in helping anyone other than their own private enterprise. How many times and how many ways do they have to prove that before you open your wide shut eyes?

You might find more information about Monsanto's involvement in Africa if you clicked on one of those nifty little linkies that have been posted all over this thread.

Where did I say anything about Africa not providing food for themselves for thousands of years?

Perhaps you could also comment on how that relates to the current situation, and why you think it was always private enterprise, since there were many large African empires, which probably had what we would call state control of everything that went on within them, just like the Romans, Persians, etc?

Here's a nice simple educational field trip for you:

Most of the current problems in Africa stem from long past European explorations, invasions, conquests and resource "gathering" by some of the same kinds of people who are offering to "help" now.
