Check out this great activist-produced video documenting Monday’s action shutting down Monsanto’s Dutch offices and greenhouses.
On Monday, 50 people with the action group ‘Roundup Monsanto’ blocked both gates of the Monsanto seed company near Rotterdam in the Netherlands. ‘Roundup Monsanto’ wants Monsanto to back out of the seed market, and demands an end to patents on seeds and living organisms. Monsanto and other agro-chemical multinationals are lobbying the Dutch government and the EU for legislative changes that would make it easier for large companies to take control of the seed market and food production.
