The news and information at Foodsecurity.net is largely pro-GM articles, often vituperative in content and boasting headlines like The Villainous Vandana Shiva (Vandana Shiva is an Indian environmentalist strongly critical of the biotech industry) or Altered Crops Called Boon for Poor.

However, when one penetrates beyond the news pages, the content is very limited. At one time a single message graced the messageboard posted by an [email protected] - the domain name of The Bivings Group, an internet PR company that numbers Monsanto among its clients. There was also an event posting from an Andura Smetacek, an e-mail front used by Monsanto to run a campaign of character assassination against its scientific and environmental critics.

Graydon Forrer is the managing director of Life Sciences Strategies, a company that specializes in 'communications programmes' for the bio-science industries. A piece of information that is not usually disclosed in Graydon Forrer's self-presentation is that he was previously Monsanto's director of executive communications. Indeed, he seems to have been working for the company in 1999 - the same year the site of this 'independent, non-profit coalition of people throughout the world' was first registered.

Foodsecurity's 'African Director', Dr. Mbwille, is not always in Africa. In 2002 he was enjoying a sabbatical observing medical practice in St. Louis, Missouri - the home town of the Monsanto Corporation.
