What the World’s Most Controversial Herbicide Is Doing to Rural Argentina
After enormous lobbying efforts,
Monsanto’s GMO soybeans, treated with Roundup, became the country’s largest export, as cancer rates and other health issues skyrocketed.

History of Soybeans and Soyfoods in Latin America

Genetically modified (GM) soya was introduced into Argentina in 1996 without any kind of debate either in Congress or among the public.

Since then, its cultivation has spread across the country like wildfire. Today more than half of the country’s arable land is planted with soya.

No other country in the world has devoted such a large area to a single GM crop.
Argentina provides a unique opportunity to investigate the consequences for a country of intensive GMO cultivation.

Rural and Urban Women for Food Sovereignty

In November 2008 the third meeting of Rural and Urban Women for Food Sovereignty was held in Santa Fé in Argentina.
One of the working groups decided to hold their two-day seminar on the railway line owned by the private company Belgrano Cargas, which is used during harvest to transport soya beans.
It was a protest, the women said, against the “soya model” and against the privatisation of the railways.
For 48 hours they halted all traffic on the line, causing losses to the rail company estimated at US$200,000.

These are extracts from the document that the women issued to explain their action:

• The soya model contaminates our environment and, by concentrating land and the means of production, expels peasant communities from the land they have occupied for many years, increasing the vulnerability of all, but particularly of women and children.

• You only have to look along the edges of the so-called “roads of production” to catch a glimpse of the life to which expelled people are condemned. They are forced to live in dark, forgotten places, where the only light comes from gambling dens and bars.

• The women are economically and sexually exploited, not only by men but by a whole ideological system validated by our society.

• To attack women is to attack food sovereignty, since women produce 80 per cent of the food that the world consumes. It is for this reason that the struggle for food sovereignty, the struggle to stay on the land and recover our capacity to produce what we eat, is also a struggle to regain sovereignty over our bodies.

• As we women are responsible for feeding our families, we have to be to be at forefront of the struggle to replace a model of consumption, commercialisation and production that fills the coffers of transnational companies at the expense of the well-being of our people.

• We are fighting for a new economy that respects people and nature, that includes everyone and guarantees the just distribution of all production so that everyone can live a life of dignity, happiness, autonomy and sovereignty.

• NO TO MONOCULTURE! YES TO TRAINS FOR ALL (BUT NOT FOR SOYA)!

The government promotes using Animal dung as fertilizer, however if the animals have eaten gmo crops or what they ate had herbicides or chemicals on them could kill your soil.
