a nzz online econony newsline forwarded by georg schoefbaenker:


life science economical giants monsanto norvatis aventis and dupont have 
difficulties to force their genetically changed soil in brasil. 
brasil s resistance irritates the big industries because the government 
burned down a research field. brasil is so important because it is the 
biggest offering land for soja coffee and concentrated orange juice. brasil 
will have advantage if the consumer is sure that no genetically modified 
food, so the big agro-cartels are very keen on getting brazil.

so this shows that there are possibilities of resistance against the use 
against totalitarian impact of economy, which forces other countries like 
argentina to give in and pollute their territory with methods that make 
plants resistent against pesticides, all other plants die. In a short term 
this is cheaper for the farmers and easier. 

if a country is able to keep away from the genetically modified seed, it will 
hopefully gain advantage in the long run if the customers will buy and choose 
responsibly and not only the cheapest product.
