| Interesantísimo hilo. ¿Nadie ha observado una contradicción en el debate de los compañeros? Hablamos de semillas ESTÉRILES y también decimos que estas mismas semillas CONTAMINAN a los cultivos tradicionales. Por favor, no es posible que coexistan estas dos propiedades al mismo tiempo. Si la semilla es estéril, la empresa fabricante vende "licencias de uso" y se enriquece pero es imposible la contaminación. |

| Genetically Modified Seeds and Sugar Beets by Monsanto India is in the midst of a flood of suicides among farmers. A new feature film written and directed by Anusha Rizwi and produced by Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan, called Peepli Live, takes a look at this grim topic. The vast majority of people in India still farm for a living, but are caught between deep debt and the erratic nature of seasonal change. Indian farmers are pressured into mortgaging their farms to purchase genetically modified seeds, pesticides, and fertilizer from American companies like Monsanto. According to AlterNet: “Since GM seeds are patented by Monsanto, their repeated use each year requires constant licensing fees that keep farmers impoverished. One bad yield due to drought or other reasons, plunges farmers so deep into debt that they resort to suicide. One study estimates that 150,000 farmers have killed themselves in the past ten years.” Meanwhile, in the U.S., District Judge Jeffrey White, a federal judge in California, has banned the planting of genetically modified Roundup Ready sugar beets created by Monsanto. The beets are engineered to withstand Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer. White said he was “troubled by maintaining the status quo that consists of 95 percent of sugar beets being genetically engineered while [the USDA] conducts the environmental review that should have occurred before the sugar beets were deregulated.” The ban does not affect crops already planted and harvested for sugar. The St. Louis Business Journal reports: “Environmental groups ... filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in January 2008 to challenge the deregulation of Roundup Ready sugar beets by the USDA ... Opponents say the beets promote superweeds, weeds that cannot easily be killed because they have developed a tolerance to weed killer. They also raise concerns about the contamination of conventional and organic crops.” |
