Ah, but that is snake that eats its own tail. Monsanto sells seed licenses for
genetically modified seeds that die after one planting. These plants are
pesticide resistant, meaning farmers can buy and...

Designer seeds have helped transform agriculture into a science-based
business.
From field corn in Parma to soybeans in Liberty and winter wheat in
Waterloo, plant technology is working to combat pests, improve yields
and take advantage of specific soils.
The biggest agricultural advancement in the last 20 years was Roundup
Ready soybeans, followed by Roundup Ready corn. Monsanto's
patent-protected technology allows farmers to spray over-growing
plants with Roundup weed killer.

I think you are missing the point. The population of the world is
increasing. More people, means more people to feed. More people to feed
means you need food to feed these people. But we hve a basic problem. Land
to grow the foods that are needed to feed this growing population, is
limited, i.e. the world has used just about all of the land that can be used
to grow the food we need to feed this growing population. So, unless you
can figure out a way to provide the food needed for this growing population
(trranslation: get more food out of each acre of land), sooner or later, you
won't be able to feed this growing population. And "if" you cannot feed
this growing population, people will die.

No, I understand the point exactly, Jerry. But the question of how to feed the
masses is a very complex one. Technology has provided us with one answer and it
is being used. But with that answer, more...
