Hybrid seeds, like GMO seeds (in contrast to Creole heirloom or organic seeds) require lots of water, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. In addition if a small farmer tries to save hybrid seeds after harvest, hybrid seeds usually do not &#038;quot breed true&#038;quot  or grow very well in the second season, forcing the now-indentured peasant to buy seeds from Monsanto or one of the other hybrid\/GMO seed monopolies in perpetuity. Monsanto wanted initially to dump GMO seeds on Haiti, but even the corrupt Haitian government knew that this would spark a rebellion, so Monsanto cleverly decided to dump hybrid seeds instead. The Haitian small farmers organization has committed to burning Monsanto&#8217;s seeds, and has called for a march to protest the corporation&#8217;s presence in Haiti on June 4, for World Environment Day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bottomlink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/salsa.democracyinaction.org\/dia\/track.jsp?v=2andc=gMByIz91fOzwI83D0YZLuOgNNK9RAHC3\" rel=\"nofollow\" >Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Learn more on <a href=\"http:\/\/salsa.democracyinaction.org\/dia\/track.jsp?v=2andc=ukK2ULq3VxFLogX5d4%2Fl3%2BgNNK9RAHC3\" rel=\"nofollow\" >OCA&#8217;s Millions Against Monsanto campaign page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#a5b578\" height=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"5\"> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>                          <a name=\"SEC2\" rel=\"nofollow\">                          <\/p>\n<h3>Alert of the Week<\/h3>\n<p>                          <\/a>                          <\/p>\n<h2>Monsanto&#8217;s Poison Pills for Haiti<img decoding=\"async\" hspace=\"10\" alt=\"\" vspace=\"10\" align=\"right\" src=\"http:\/\/www.organicconsumers.org\/images\/bytes\/usaid.jpg\" width=\"130\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Take Action in Solidarity with Haitian Farmers Who Vow to Burn Monsanto&#8217;s Toxic Fungicide-Coated Hybrid Seeds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since gaining their independence from France more than 200 years ago in a bloody slave uprising, Haitian farmers have wisely protected their seeds and nurtured native crop varieties. They know that true food security is maintained by farmers who save, trade and breed indigenous seeds using traditional organic methods.<\/p>\n<p>As Chavannes Jean-Baptiste, the Executive Director of the Peasant Movement of Papay (MPP), wrote earlier this year, &#038;quot We need to establish seed banks and have silos where we can store our Creole seeds. Local, organic seeds are the basis of food sovereignty.   It&#8217;s urgent that Haitians buy local seeds. &#8230; What&#8217;s the danger we face today? It&#8217;s that food aid from USAID and others is getting dumped in the country.&#038;quot <\/p>\n<p>USAID and Monsanto have a poison pill for Haiti, designed to the make the island nation into a slave colony once again, except this time they won&#8217;t be slaves for France, but rather for Monsanto and corporate agribusiness.
