Monsanto gives up fight for GM plants in Europe

[pocaracas]

I think the problem here is economics.
If monsanto's seeds are that good, every single farmer will want to buy them... And monsanto makes them in such a way that farmers will have to buy the seeds every year. It is, after all, a business.
Farmer buys, tests out, sees that they're good, repeats ad nauseum.

And the damned seeds are patented, so that no other company can come up with equally resistant seeds.
This opens the road to a monopoly on seeds....leading to very, very, very little genetic diversity. And we all know that can't be good on the long run.
