Traditional methods of agriculture, which include seed saving, seed sharing, selective breeding, and permaculture, are all far more viable and sustaining for human life on this planet than anything offered by the companies in the way of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). Practically everything we have been told about the supposed benefits of biotechnology is false, at least as far as its necessity and usefulness in agriculture is concerned
Forcing the farmers to buy new “terminator” seeds and crop chemicals every year from private corporations will provide any sort of long-term security for the food supply is naive at best. The biotechnological model dictates that the corporations control the price, availability, and performance of seeds and crop chemicals, both of which are confined to restrictive patents that prevent farmers from taking true ownership of the foods they grow.
