Biotech activist Dr. Vandana Shiva is a featured voice in Marie-Monique Robin’s new documentary, The World According to Monsanto. “If they control seed, they control food,” says Shiva. “They know it. That's more powerful than bombs. It's more powerful than guns. This is the best way to control the populations of the world.” And indeed the Monsanto Corporation controls the world’s seed.  In the past ten years, they have bought over 50 of the world’s seed companies, they provide seeds for 90 percent of the world’s genetically modified crops, and their relentless Round-Up campaign has convinced farmers around the globe that their destructive method of GMO farming is safe for humans and the environment.
