This recognition is being enhanced by the concept of "food sovereignty" and its increasing discussion in academic circles. Nevertheless, despite constructive developments such as a draft "UN Declaration of the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas" there is still a long way to go before there is an appropriate understanding and accurate appreciation of the modern peasantry. </div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica;min-height:17px"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica">Yours sincerely,</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica;min-height:17px"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 14px/normal Helvetica">Jonathan</div><div><br></div><div>Jonathan Latham, PhD</div><div><div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;font-size:medium"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Executive Director</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">The Bioscience Resource Project</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Ithaca, NY 14850 USA</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br><a href="http://www.independentsciencenews.org" target="_blank">www.independentsciencenews.org</a><br>and<br><a href="http://www.bioscienceresource.org" target="_blank">www.bioscienceresource.org</a><br><br><a href="mailto:jrlatham@bioscienceresource.org" target="_blank">jrlatham@bioscienceresource.org</a><br>Skype: jonathanlatham2<br>Tel: 1-607-319-0279</div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><br></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word">“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society.
