I just learned of the following news from Fresh Cut Magazine:
Monsanto Co. has entered into a collaboration with Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. to develop new products that will enhance consumer vegetable choices.
The five-year collaboration will focus on broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce and spinach. Plant breeding will be used to improve the nutrition, flavor, color, texture, taste and aroma of these vegetables. Any new products realized from this collaboration could be commercialized by Dole in North America.
“The consumer wins because Dole’s market knowledge combined with our research and development capabilities will help bring new, flavorful, and healthy products to consumers,” said David Stark, vice president of consumer traits at Monsanto. “We are very excited and pleased to bring this focus to our business via this collaboration with Dole and its strong brand.”
“Dole prides itself on innovation and bringing consumers high-quality, nutritious, and great-tasting products,” said Roger Billingsley, senior vice-president of research and development for Dole Fresh Vegetables. “We are looking forward to collaborating closely with Monsanto to do just that.”
What more can be said?
Small Farmers. Big Change. 
OMG!!! Why are they teaming up with the devils Monsato??!!! Don’t they know that they are here to promote their GM seeds!!!! Oh No. someone has to stop them!
Ironically these don’t enhance consumer choices at all. The economies of scale that have been driving American agriculture since the end of WWII have narrowed down our choices 97% since the beginning of the 20th century. And the choices we do have now are extremely toxic, as Dr. Don Huber explains in connection with a new virus-like “hitchhiker pathogen” now causing sterility and spontaneous abortions in cattle. This entity seems capable of crossing from bovine to human populations.
