Abstract: Vandana Shiva challenges the assumption that Third World women farmers are partners in the projects of genetic engineering of crops and patenting of seed. She argues that women must resist the attempt by the biotechnology industry and agribusiness as well as governments of the US and Canada to coopt them.
