Monsanto Chile.

Hello everyone


Today I will talk about Monsanto and the law to sell this company Chilean seeds, Monsanto is a company that provides products for agriculture, is known in turn sell the world's best selling herbicide and is also known for selling genetically modified.


Why Monsanto has so many enemies? Well the problem is mainly because companies started buying Monsanto and seed companies to monopolize the market almost beganto patent natural seeds so that if your growing Monsanto's patented GMO seeds carried by wind and in theory should pay royalties author.


The company defends its seeds ensuring that pollute less, use less pesticides and energy expenditure, the environmentalist opposition says otherwise, that GM seeds pollute more because they suffer more reliance on pesticides to grow the business inits sale of Monsanto pesticide. Studies indicate that organic farming out performs the GM. Monsanto says the crop genetic manipulation does not affect the human population, think that the GM crop is more profitable.


The Chilean Senate Monsanto seed sold to peasant and indigenous, with 13 votes infavor, 5 against and 6 abstentions, with the consequence peasant and social outrage, the senators who voted to defend themselves by arguing that free trade agreements has Chile forced to sign the treaty


A business that is largely rejected European countries come to invade Chilean seeds, the only beneficiaries of this treaty will be the entrepreneurs, the villagers have to pay additionally for their work and health are all affected in the long term , GM crops are unnatural, unhealthy, and each mutation brings a consequence.


So I say NO Monsanto

Metropolitan regulation Santiago

"By 17 votes in favor, 8 against and one abstention, the Regional Council (CORE) on Wednesday approved Metropolitan regulation Santiago Metropolitan Zoning Plan(PRMS), which expands the urban boundary, converting areas to accommodate, inhere 2030, the population will increase. "

Well I chose this news about the law because it seems unusual for being one of the largest cities and the country's central government takes steps to expand it.

This expansion would be affected not only important agricultural soils for agricultural science will affect the quality of life of people who live so far in the city limits.

Health, pollution, transportation system, quality of life, environment and conformation of city would be drastically changed to a gray spot that focuses more people you can have.

The solution to this problem is simply to encourage living in other regions of the country, not only to decentralize Santiago, for the promotion of other important regions in the country would help economic homogeneity, the decentralization of population mass, different alternatives and better quality life for people.

The ends of the country are virtually uninhabitable, but there are many cities to accommodate and develop even more with the population increase should be given, so I find it excessive and very harmful for us to expand a city like Santiago no longer cope.

Well, I chose this story because I think that is leaving aside all that there is in the case of society and it is very important to do something to stop it.

Thank you very much for reading.
