Imperfect tech + ruthless amoral powerful corporations + inept govt = ??? First, these companies use promotions and discounts. They give farmers free trial seeds for planting. May raffle pa nga yan. Some of the farmers weve talked to, especially the small landholders, most of them have tried planting GM corn but after one planting season, they quit. But they are forced to plant it again because the credit facilities they borrow from will only grant them loans if they plant GM corn. These facilities are partly funded by GM companies like Monsanto. Even more disturbing is how GM companies package their GM crops with their other products. For instance, Roundup Ready corn by Monsanto is genetically-programmed to be resistant only to Roundup herbicide, a product also by Monsanto.
