The corn is today the plant most planted in the world – and by their genetic wealth of the food is more durable and versatile of humanity.
Just twenty years ago the chemical companies more large and damaging of the world (such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Dupont and Dow), created in the laboratory in transgenic plants and bought the seed companies to monopolize your sales and multiply your wealth with the power of humanity. Obtained the patent of seeds of corn, just to add a gene that allows it to survive the application of herbicide; so all the grass dies unless the transgenic corn absorbed herbicide as a sponge and die herbs whose flowers hold the bees... in the crops of corn, cotton, mustard and soybean transgenic already do not need to peasants – only a tractor, a plane, transgenic seeds, and their chemical synthetic”
