Colonialism lives in biotech seed proposal for Africa http://www.gmwatch.eu/latest-listing/1-news-items/12089-colonialism-lives-in-biotech-seed-proposal-for-africa

Bill Gates and the biotech juggernauts are doing their best to keep Africa dependent on imported technology, just like in the bad old days of colonialism. Gates, Monsanto and Pioneer have joined the long list of those believing they know best how the continent should grow its food. If the history of colonialism and subsequent development practice have taught us anything, it is that all interventions must strengthen resilience, encourage diversity and be locally appropriate. The biotech seed proposal for Africa fails on all three counts.
