• Natural News

For more than three years now, protestors in Malvinas, Argentina have blocked the construction of what would become Monsanto's second-largest seed plant in Latin American after the local council approved construction of the plant.

"Cordobeses (residents of Cordoba) will be proud to have one of the most important (seed-producing) plants in the world," Monsanto's website claims, according to GMWatch. "The more than one thousand employees of Monsanto Argentina are proud and thankful to be a part of the community of Malvinas, Argentina."

However, after Monsanto broke ground for the plant in September 2013, "a group of activists blockaded the plant's five entrances and set up camp," the site noted.
