Quote: until proven so, however, documentaries have been done on Montsano that show what they are doing. They don't hold patents in crops themselves, but they do hold patents on seeds that have been genetically modified and that's the rub.Ok, that's what I meant actually.
Quote: Crops like wheat have seeds that can get carried away in the wind, thus spreading to other farmland. Farms that don't have the exclusive rights to plant GMO seeds are being sued.
I understand that they want to protect their intellectual property, but if that's how it plays out that sucks of course. Did anyone actually get convicted just because seeds accidentally blew onto their land?
