Though Govt occasionally announces some moratorium on carpet bombing of chemically-treated hybrid seeds, their use has been steadily increasing since last few decades. Such moratorium lasts till public anger settles or so-called independent scientific studies establish the safety of genetically modified seeds from the point of view of its long-term impact on human health, nutrition values, food security and environment. ROI of traders and manufacturers is more lucrative than concerns of explosive chemicals entering our food systems.

So, politically connected large and greedy landlords, big fertilizer and chemical companies continue its profiteering drives by planting such poisonous MNC seeds from financial capitalists to manufacture non-organic and genetically modified harvest for their economies of scale, paying handsome tributes to officials (सुप्रीम लाभार्थी). A failure of government agencies as illegal farming is being cultivated everywhere. Regulatory bodies like GEAC or Ministries dealing in Agriculture acts like promotional agencies for its gangs of capital investors, traders and manufacturers rather than as real regulators on oath committed to public health and legal systems. Tweaks are approved after large-scale jugaad cultivation was discovered in ROI loving states like Gujjustan. Regulators and profiting companies turns a blind eye in tango to dangerous herbicide tolerant cultivation thereafter, while it spread to lakhs of hectares.

Many greedy farmers (as $T bhakts & advertisers of seed impex) gathered to illegally plant banned and genetically modified (GM) seeds, saying that improves their livelihoods income and help reduce pesticide or fertilizer use, planting pest-resistant and herbicide-tolerant seeds in defiance of regulations. Farmers are either enticed, brainwashed or forced to plant GM seeds, despite moratorium events to satisfy anti-GMO groups.

Small farmers who grow illegally sometimes have their crops bulldozed by authorities for showoff event. Farmers demand government compensate whose crops have been destroyed, and vow in solidarity, the participants raise money to aid all those who may be similarly affected. (May 2019)

Anti-GMO activists demand that police should attend such rallies and arrest some protesting farmers. Coalition for GM-free says such actions constitute criminal breach of GMO bio-safety law and will be confronted with action / fines / arrest as appropriate. As per reports, enforcers arrived but left without actions, and the GM seeds planted without hindrance as the chanting farmers and bribed passive consumers looked on to artificial cultivation with chemicals, jaiho!

Local farmers point to other countries, where farming is becoming more profitable by sowing corporate seeds, enabling them to slash their use of other resources like water, labor, pesticides, nitrogen absorption enablers, etc. GM crops like maize, soya, wheat, rice, cotton, vegetables, etc are planted across the world, and millions of people and livestock are happily eating while funding chemical industrial complexes for future war readiness R&D, and exponentially multiplying our enslaved species. Consumerism addicted farmers can easily claim no evidence of adverse health impact on either humans, ecology or animals.

Until the protected and quarantined elite eaters are affected, the bucks game of GM food poisoning will keep changing goal posts.

2 thoughts on “Planting GMO seeds + chemicals for real health / wealth or just food poisoning for more bucks?

  1. Non-veg alternative in food poisoning. Being just developed and experimenting on food for extra cash, putting many other lives at risk by spreading viruses. Stop eating wild animals, which are anyway almost extinct and chemically infected!

  2. After 14 years AGRA had not increased income and had actually INCREASED hunger by 30% in 13 African nations. AGRA introduces GMO technologies – patented plants, seeds and chemicals. Biotech often undermine food security and only benefit drug cartels, warfare, Big Agro, chemical, financial and medical corporations. Small farmer is only person in capital economies who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, forcefully fooled to pay both ways!
