    From the page: "Family farmers (those who still control their own farms and are not controlled by corporations) know there is a significant and threatening food safety issue in this country. It does not come from family farms. It comes from the corporate sector: its feed companies, its feedlots, its poultry factories, its slaughter houses."

    From the page: "The United States (US) is currently using about 9% of its wheat, 25% of its corn and about 15% of its grain in general to produce biofuel. The United Kingdom (UK) has committed to large increases in the use of biofuels over coming decades, has recently announced subsidies for biofuel and supports the European Commission (EU) target requiring 10 per cent of petrol station fuel to be plant-derived biofuel within 12 years. However the huge and intrinsically genocidal US diversion of 15% of its grain crop to biofuel production has had a huge impact already on soaring global food prices â€" the world is already facing a global food crisis with alarm being expressed by UN, FAO and other scientific experts.

    From the page: "It doesn't get madder than this. Swaziland is in the grip of a famine and receiving emergency food aid. Forty percent of its people are facing acute food shortages. So what has the government decided to export? Biofuel made from one of its staple crops, cassava. (1) The government has allocated several thousand hectares of farmland to ethanol production in the county of Lavumisa, which happens to be the place worst hit by drought. "

    From the page: "Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) May 1, 2008 -- The U.S. pressured South Africa to prevent her expression of concerns about GM crops during an international food trade meeting. Yesterday South Africa (SA) submitted CRD 21, a strongly worded statement arguing for mandatory labeling of all genetically modified (GM) and similar foods during the Codex Alimentarius Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL, Ottawa Canada, April 28-May 2, 2008). The Natural Solutions Foundation opposes GM Food healthfreedomusa.org [healthfreedomusa.org] ) provided technical support for this document. Prior to its submission, and in violation of the stated Codex principles respecting diversity of opinion fostering consensus among nations, the U.S. pressured the South African government demanding that CRD 21 be withdrawn from the Codex process although its provisions are consistent with SA law and Codex texts and principles."

    From the page: "ScienceDaily (Apr. 15, 2008) â€" Fifteen hundred years ago, tribes people from the central Amazon basin mixed their soil with charcoal derived from animal bone and tree bark. Today, at the site of this charcoal deposit, scientists have found some of the richest, most fertile soil in the world. Now this ancient, remarkably simple farming technique seems far ahead of the curve, holding promise as a carbon-negative strategy to rein in world hunger as well as greenhouse gases."

    Rated Mar 28 2008 • 32 reviews • gardening, seeds, seed exchange • seedsavers.org



    From the page: "Seed Savers Exchange was founded in 1975 by Diane and Kent Whealy, after her terminally-ill grandfather gave them the seeds of two garden plants, Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory and German Pink Tomato, that his parents brought from Bavaria when they immigrated to St. Lucas, Iowa in the 1870s.

    Seed Savers Exchange is a nonprofit organization that saves and shares the heirloom seeds of our garden heritage, forming a living legacy that can be passed down through generations. When people grow and save seeds, they join an ancient tradition as stewards, nurturing our diverse, fragile, genetic and cultural heritage."
