"Haitian farmers are now burning donated Monsanto seeds. In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional seeds to genetically modified seeds. In Chiapas, Mayan farmers have refused to use the seeds which damaged heritage seed stock. Cross pollination from genetically modified seeds can endanger crops from ancient seed stock in the region."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Navajos</a> have long planted century-old corn using traditional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DryFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DryFarming</a>. Navajos relied on the stars to know when to plant and sometimes planted in spirals, according to Navajo elders in Rock Point, Arizona.[...]"However today the Navajo commercial farm boasts on its website that it plants genetic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HybridCorn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HybridCorn</a> seed purchased from '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PioneerSeed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PioneerSeed</a> Company, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syngenta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syngenta</a> Inc., and Monsanto companies." The commercial farm, NAPI, is located on the Navajo Nation near Farmington, N.M., and grows commercial food crops, including corn for potato chips, along with potatoes, wheat and other crops."Around the world, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Monsanto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monsanto</a> and genetically modified seeds have meant death for Indigenous Peoples and their crops."[...]"The area of northwest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewMexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewMexico</a> has been known as a 'US Sacrifice Area,' since the 1970s. It is the Navajo people who have been sacrificed, by way of the US government working in collusion with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/corporations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporations</a> and the elected Navajo Nation government. "While <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NAPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NAPI</a> continues to use genetically modified seeds on its commercial farm, NAPI also has a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RaytheonMissile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaytheonMissile</a> manufacturing plant located on the commercial farm where the crops are grown, a fact many would like kept secret. The fact that the Raytheon Missile factory is located on the Navajo farm was censored by Indian Country Today in 2006. At that time, Cuba was expressing interest in purchasing food products from NAPI and Indian Country Today editors demanded that no research be done on Raytheon's missile plant at the farm or any possible pollutants discharged from Raytheon."Read more: <a href="https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2010/06/navajo-commercial-farm-using.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2010/06/navajo-commercial-farm-using.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GMOs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GMOs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigAg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigAg</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndCapitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decolonize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonize</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalFoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalFoods</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CulturalGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CulturalGenocide</a>
