In India, thousands of farmers committed suicide after switching from traditional seeds to genetically modified seeds. In Chiapas, Mayan farmers have refused to use the seeds which damaged heritage seed stock. Cross pollination from genetically modified seeds can endanger crops from ancient seed stock in the region.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Navajos" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Navajos</span></a> have long planted century-old corn using traditional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DryFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DryFarming</span></a>.

The fact that the Raytheon Missile factory is located on the Navajo farm was censored by Indian Country Today in 2006.
