So, it has finally reached Nepal, Monsanto is introducing Genetically modified seed to Nepal shortly. If anyone is not aware of what Monsanto and their GMO seeds and crops have done to the rest of the world please see below:

Please read the email I received and say no to GMO seeds.

Dear All,

USAID in cooperation with Monsanto Corp. is going to start a large
project to introduce hybrid maize seeds to Nepal.  The next step will
be GM (Genetically Modified) seed.  This is a very controversial
topic, it is powered by big business, and it will change agriculture
in Nepal in serious ways.

For those who are interested in and have opinions about the future of
agriculture in Nepal, I am sending the link to US Ambassador Scott H.
DeLisi's Facebook page.  Here you can post your comments about the
USAID/Monsanto Hybrid seed project.  If you know the problems that
come with hybrid seed and GM (Genetically Modified) seed, our best
approach is to demonstrate and prove that organic is a better way.
There is now a lot of evidence for this.

It is important for us to write our opinions about the best future for
farmers in Nepal.  Organic?  Hybrid? GMO?  Please use the facts in
your comments.  We don't want to start a fight, but we want to educate
the US ambassador and as many other people as possible.

I have also made a Facebook page:  Food Security How?  Organic?
Hybrid? GM?  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Food-Security-How-Organic-Hybrid-GM-farming/188856751190242

This goal of this page is to educate as many people as possible about
the pros and cons of organic, hybrid and GM farming, so that Nepal can
make an informed choice for the future of farming.  Please educate
yourselves and share with others.

Namaste,
Jim
