Maybe instead of just having respect for traditional way of thinking, its time to stand up to Monsanto right now. Its such a shame that USAID is promoting the vested interest of this monster company in a poor country like Nepal. Imagine the impact this is going to have among rural farmers who don't understand the implications of Genetically modified crops and the enslavement to seeds exclusively distributed by Monsanto.
