The 2018 St. Louis March AgainstMonsanto (MAM) will take place at Monsanto's corporate headquarters on Saturday, May 26th.

The Gateway Green Alliance/Green Party of St. Louis is hosting the MAM. We are meeting at the Laverne Collins Park, 10581 Olive St. Rd., Creve Coeur (63141) at 1:00 pm and will gather until 3:00 pm, marching to Monsanto World Headquarters.

As the Monsanto and Bayer merger moves closer to finishing, the threat to agriculture, locally and internationally, expands.

WHY WE MARCH:

1. Poisoning of agriculture and residential areas with pesticides and herbicides.
2. Cancer risks, especially non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
3. Soil and water contamination.
4. Decline of pollinators and monarch butterflies.
5. Imposition of the industrial model of agriculture on Latin America, Africa and Asia.
6. Efforts of Monsanto, Bayer, and Syngenta to corner the seed market.
7. Loss of plant and seed diversity.
8. Roundup/glyphosate's role in the creation of super weeds.
9. Tendency of the new pesticide, dicamba, to drift onto and contaminate non-GMO crops.
10. Suppression of research unfavorable to GMOs and the proliferation of industry-biased and non peer-reviewed studies of GMO safety.

Unless we stop it, the end result could be agricultural and environmental devastation. Monsanto, Bayer and other big biotech companies are robbing people of the ability to produce their own food in the US and throughout the world.

Recent German Insect Count: Three quarters of all flying insects have vanished in Germany over the last 3 decades. The chief culprit is neonicotinoids which is produced by Baer along with the herbicide Roundup/glyphosate. 

Dicamba Drift — weeds have become resistant to glyphosate which has led to the development of dicamba. Dicamba is prone to drift and is responsible for hundreds of acres of non-GMO crops in MO, AR, and TN. 

Before 1990, there were 600+ independent seed businesses globally, many of them family owned. By 2009 only about 100 survived while seed prices doubled.
