Has Monsanto become more "conscious" since they primarily deal with FOOD? 

I'm all for optimism, but I also recognize that there are some greedy 
bastards out there and we should be realistic.

One thought that occurred to me is that FOOD has been the gateway for a lot 
of people to come into a wider awareness of the interconnectedness of all 
things. A lot of people come into permaculture through gardening, farmers 
markets, and so on. And from there they start to examine and redesign other 
areas of their lives. 

I think the same can be true for companies and other organizations. It seems 
to me that food-consciousness is a step in their evolution, which, with 
strategic encouragement, will fan out into other areas of their operation.

The way I see it, our mission as permies is none other than strategic 
encouragement! So what can we do today to accelerate the evolution of the 
people and groups who are our fellow passengers on spaceship Earth?

The desire/need/willingness to take this to a higher level seems to me to be
satisfied by opening to a vision of what 'classroom earth' is all about.
Who is here, what we are learning.

Ah the blessed life of simple folks who want no more than simple
companionship and pure entertainments, including food and water and good
books!
