LONDON, April 21 (Reuter) - More than fifty activists protesting against genetic crop engineering have occupied part of the British headquarters of U.S. chemicals giant Monsanto Co , a spokeswoman for the protesters said on Monday.

The spokeswoman told Reuters that the activists had hung banners from the roof of Monsanto's offices in High Wycombe, north of London. They had gained access to the second floor of the building and were occupying the board room.
