Even though the government has agreed to postpone Monsanto seeds, I think they are going ahead with the "pilot projects", similar projects that were vehemently protested in India, and hence they are targeting Nepal. For these seeds to destroy the native crops and spread, that's all they need: Few pilot projects through the corrupt hands of government officials. There are several nepali associations in  universities here in north east US that are going to do awareness campaign about Monsanto's influence in Nepal and how we can better educate ourselves about these toxic crops. I'll keep you guys updated if i hear anything about this.

meanwhile, i think Anil bhattarai has written a series of excellent column articles in ekantipur. I am surprised that so few people have heard about this. Especially when USAID is promoting, we tend to think it is for a better cause.
