Have a Good NEWS

The farm is marked on the front line in the jaws of the evolution of the practice of monoculture

Monsanto Company does not have a Facebook page. They are very aware that if they did, that to become a wall of protest ever. There are good reasons for resentment, too: a long and complicated history that includes everything from public drunkenness stream production of Agent Orange, bovine growth hormones and pesticide DDT. They have become the black spot on the biotechnology industry to anyone with a subscription CSA and a reusable bag.

To be fair, that was the legacy of "Old Monsanto". The company was relaunched in 2001 and focuses exclusively on agriculture today. However, while it can not be discharged into rivers in Alabama PCB or helping to build atomic bombs, a new series of books and documentaries are again pointing the finger in anger against society. Of the passive past, Monsanto and costumes most recently filed against the U.S. and Canadian farmers, people wearing lab coats in Missouri are considered by many enemies in the movement for sustainable agriculture.

In summary, I would not be the head of the department of public relations for Monsanto.

A little history: Monsanto has been around since 1901, when they are up to saccharin, the sugar substitute yet sold in his famous pink packets. After the original contractor, the company changed direction and focused on agricultural chemicals. Mid-1940 had produced 2,4-D (the original selective pesticides). Meanwhile, the West after the war began to grow food on an industrial scale for the first time.

the 1960's the cornerstone of your brand, Roundup, has been marketed in the United States. A decade later created Roundup Ready soybeans, Roundup Ready canola followed, cotton and corn. At that time (late 1990) Monsanto bought enough seed control groups of companies have been increasingly skeptical that the monopoly of food production is in progress. And then he does stand on end in the number of companies being acquired, which is the unity of the intense commercial activity of only a few types of plants that are more involved.

But Monsanto has been successful, however, fiercely, even through the bad press, the expansion of Whole Foods markets and recent fashion craft. When Brad Mitchell, director of public relations for Monsanto, was invited by the organic lifestyle magazine on the horrible reputation of the company, his response was:

Monsanto
easy to demonize, and many do. Although I disagree with much of the last of the company, I can not deny that they are filling out an application. Western culture is due to cheap food, abundant and readily available. It should be easy to prepare (or prepared for us), when ready to fire up the service window. Until people start supporting alternative, I can not imagine their decline.

My concern any company Hocking seeds is the practice of monoculture. To cover thousands of hectares with one or two pure cultures - grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides protected - it's a tightrope Fire Walk incomplete jaw evolution. When a disease or insect mutations faster than people engineering these foods can concoct a panacea, there could be a famine to end all famines. When everything is the same, everything can be destroyed as a uniform, you get perfect conditions. If the United States or England has lost the production of soya or maize in a single intelligent plague of 1845 in Ireland seems a breeze.
