Gates Says Environmentalism Hurting Africa
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft founder Bill Gates said on October 15
| that environmentalists who are adamantly opposed
| to using genetically modified crops in Africa are
| hindering efforts to end hunger on that
| continent.
|
| [...]
|
| The Gates Foundation is also partnering with
| researchers who are using both conventional crop-
| breeding and biotechnology to produce drought-
| tolerant corn. And other work is being conducted
| on flood-tolerant rice and wheat that is
| resistant to a virulent form of rust disease.
|
| âThe technologies will be licensed royalty free
| to seed distributors so that the new seeds can be
| sold to African farmers without extra charge,â
| Gates declared. âI hope that the debate over
| productivity will not slow the distribution of
| these seeds.â

It will be "licensed". For how long?
It also does not say that Gates invests in those companies with their
precious patents whose dissemination he promotes. From the comments:

| GMO Dangerous!
| Genetically modified plants are extremely
| dangerous and DO NOT provide higher yields. Read
| about the Indian farmers who commit suicide by
| drinking their own pesticides after their GMO
| crops continue to fail while driving them further
| into debt and dependency.
| Monsanto's business model is criminal: the genes
| spread to unwitting farmers' fields, a which
| point private investigators obtain DNA samples
| and then sue the poor farmer. It would be like
| throwing a rock through my window and suing me
| for my house because you're rock is in it.
| Also, the idea of patenting LIFE is preposterous.
| Consumers should avoid GMO food at all costs.
| These people our playing God with our lives and
| the planet.

Gates Foundation Revokes Pledge to Review Portfolio
,----[ Quote ]
| ...the Gates Foundation took down their public statement on this
| and replaced it with a significantly altered version which seems to
| say that investing responsibly would just be too complex for them
| and that they need to focus on their core mission: 'There are
| dozens of factors that could be considered, almost all of which
| are outside the foundation's areas of expertise. The issues
| involved are quite complex...

Gates Foundationâs Influence Criticized
,----[ Quote ]
| The chief of malaria for the World Health Organization has complained that
| the growing dominance of malaria research by the Bill and Melinda Gates
| Foundation risks stifling a diversity of views among scientists and wiping
| out the world health agencyâs policy-making function.
