Exposing "The African Green Revolution"

GENEVA - Uganda's major trade partners are not only looking for food  markets 
but also for seed markets. This has happened in a push that has been  
packaged as "the new green revolution" by corporations involved in 
biotechnology  and 
chemicals. They have been supported by philanthropic organizations, notably  
the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates  Foundation.

Privatisation  of Seeds Moving Apace

GENEVA - The Ugandan parliament will soon have a hearing on the draft  Plant 
Variety Protection Bill, approved by the cabinet early last year. If  passed 
unmodified, the bill is likely to entrench the rights of plant breeders  and 
companies while curtailing the rights of small farmers to exchange, save and  
breed new varieties using hybrid  seeds.
