The biotech industry has already gained control of the U.S. soybean, corn and cotton market by infiltrating regulatory agencies, providing falsified data, using their patents on life to drive non-GMO farmers out of business, buying off lawmakers and spending millions on propaganda.
Monsanto has also secured a foothold in India, where its patented Bt cotton has come to dominate agricultural fields. This GM crop, which releases a bacterial toxin meant to control pests such as bollworm, was sold as a way to reduce pesticide use. However, as with so many other GM crops, the reality turns out to be opposite.
"But over the years, whiteflies have regularly attacked cotton plants only to be controlled by intensive spraying of chemical pesticides. But this year, despite a new pesticide being introduced and subsidized by the state government, the whitefly attack spun out of control."As a result of the whiteflies' decimating Punjab's GM cotton crops this year, at least 15 farmers committed suicide. And yes, it was Monsanto crops that were decimated.
Comment: Monsanto is systematically killing independent agricultural sectors all over the world.
