Will the World Survive the GMO Cultures and the Damage to the Earths

[2008-7-22]

Tag : bio pesticide

Monsanto and the other major biotech companies – Syngenta,Bunge, Cargill, etc. – are all set on owning theworld’s food supply. Monsanto is by far the leader in thisnightmare of destroying organic agriculture and millennia-oldbiodiversity.
They have no respect whatsoever for the lives and the livelihood offarmers or, for that matter, any concern for the people who areexposed to severe health hazards from eating genetically modifiedfoods. Corporate profit is all that counts.
The greatest long-lasting danger from GMOs is the destruction ofthe earth’s eco-systems – the degradation of the soil,the depletion of water resources and the proliferation of peststhat were until now barely known, since they were kept undercontrol by the natural balance of predatory insects keeping thosethat are harmful to the crops from having their potentiallydamaging effect. More later about this natural equilibrium.
The bio-tech industries have taken a big and dangerous step towardsdestroying the earth as it has been known for thousands of years.Organic agriculture, biodiversity and natural pest control havemade the earth a place for sustainable farming for millennia.However, at this point of delicate balance for the earth’ssurvival, bio-tech corporations want to put an end to everythingthat is natural in order to make short-term profit from hugemonocultures of the genetically modified products that they arefalsely marketing as our saviors from world hunger and poverty.
India is one country that has been severely hit by the bio-techindustry with accompanying disasters.
What follows after the farmers change over to GMO seeds aftermillennia of planting and making a livelihood in organic farming isa horror story of bad harvests, huge debts, increased costs forherbicides and fertilizers (in spite of the companies’promises of lower costs), and the suicides of thousands of farmersin Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala – among theIndian states that are hit the worst.
