Been having a strong feeling to look a bit more into Common Purpose lately.
On the great Brian Gerrish's website, www.cpexposed.com, he has a document that's a Dun & Bradstreet search of Common Purpose.
It's HERE (http://www.cpexposed.com/documents/CP_DunnandBradstreet_Listing.pdf)
The search gives addresses for Common Purpose in the UK.
One is "Care of Bayer Crop Science, Norwich."
What is Bayer Crop Science?
Well, from their website,
Bayer CropScience is with annual sales of about EUR 6.4 billion one of the world's leading innovative cropscience companies in the area of crop protection (Crop Protection), non agricultural pest-control (Environmental Science), seeds and plant biotechnology (BioScience).
Our Crop Protection activities are focused on four fields: Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides and Seed Treatment.
Their Environmental Science unit is
Offering solutions to control pests and weeds efficiently and to improve the quality of life of professional users and consumers
And here is info on their Biotechnology group:
Integrated solutions for the farm and beyond
Our business operations unit, BioScience, is a seed business that uses plant biotechnology and modern plant breeding techniques to improve the quality of crops and vegetables. Together with Crop Protection, BioScience offers an integrated portfolio of high quality seeds, trait technologies and high performance crop protection products.
BioScience activities are focused on the areas vegetable seeds and agricultural seeds.
Vegetable seeds - researching, breeding, processing and marketing high quality vegetable seeds and services
Our subsidiary Nunhems is a leading international developer and supplier of high quality vegetable seed and services. We market 2,500 vegetable varieties covering 28 vegetable crops around the globe to professional growers, plant propagators, seed dealers as well as the fresh produce and food processing industries. Our main crops include carrots, onions, tomatoes, leeks and melons.
AgSeeds - holding a strong competitive position in high value markets
Our AgSeed focuses on improving the agronomic performance of three strategic crops: cotton, canola and rice, using modern plant breeding and plant biotechnology innovations.
• Rice
Arize® hybrid rice offers a high-yield, high-quality solution requiring less seed per hectare than conventional rice.
• Canola
InVigor® offers vigorous growth characteristics, high yield potential as well as the ability to withstand environmental stresses specific to the varied Canadian landscapes and its many extremes.
• Cotton
With our cotton varieties we offer farmers high performances in lint yield and quality, with the inclusion of leading technologies available for insect and herbicide resistance.
We aim to market the technology we develop not just in our own seed products, but also - with the help of our partners - for other crops such as corn and soybeans.
Now, why on earth would Common Purpose, a "charity", seemingly have an office within Bayer Crop Science? Why, indeed.
What is the agenda here? Same as Monsanto? Codex Alimentarius? I.e. controlling world food production? Bioengineering plants as a means of controlling populations?
If someone in Norwich or thereabouts would like to look into this, I think it's very, very important.
